Jeep Jeep Hard Top Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Jeep clearly believes in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy for their roofs. Out of all the recorded options, we have exactly one: Jet Black. It's the little black dress of the off-road world-timeless, versatile, and guaranteed to match literally everything else you've bolted onto that roll cage.
What to Watch For
Your paint code is hiding in the usual spot-the driver-side door jamb sticker-often listed under "PNT." Look for RXF or PX8. Now, the reality check: these hard tops are fiberglass, and they lead a hard life. Because the material underneath the paint is often white or light grey, a single pebble chip on the highway looks like a bright beacon of failure against that deep black. You'll also want to keep an eye on the edges of the "Freedom Panels." Since those get handled, dropped, and leaned against garage walls, the paint tends to flake or peel there first. If your roof is starting to look a bit "chalky" or greyish, that's just the sun trying to win; don't let it.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Jet Black is a solid color without metallic flakes to worry about, it's very DIY-friendly. When using a touch-up pen or brush, use the "Dab, Don't Drag" method. Instead of trying to paint a long stroke, just dab the tip into the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges. Because you're likely covering white fiberglass, it requires patience: do one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then hit it with a second layer. This prevents a "blob" from forming and gives you a much flatter, cleaner finish that disappears into the rest of the top.
