I would take the paint code to a paint shop and have them make a sample and give it a spray on a scrap piece of metal. See how it compares in the sun. They may have just renamed the paint code over the years for newer cars.
Im not so sure,i pulled up some info and it looks like a 2014 jeep wrangler color and from the pictures ive seen so far thats not a match..but im gonna do some digging and see what i can find out
Where did you by the touch up paint from?
Chrysler uses the same paint codes for a lot of years, always important when getting paint that the code and the year match, pbj was probably a different color in different years, could be a poorly mixed batch too.. also doesn't always look the same when dried, I always try multiple test pieces and start in an inconspicuous area that you cant see well
1995 Dakota Club Cab, 408, 5spd, 8 3/4 rear end
I havent actually bought it yet,just checking around online.after a little more digging ,i did find out that,according to www.automotivetouchup.dot com ,they are the same color
you could also take it to a paint shop and having them hit your truck with there "magic" gun and it'll say exactly whats left in your paint (fade included). Then they can match it exactly.
X2, that's what I do when I can't find a cheap match off the shelf. There is an autobody supply house a mile from my house and I just drive over and he points his gun on a spot that I cleaned and waxed and the match is usually great. For $20.00 you get a whole can you can use for all kinds of paint repair. I just spray some in a cup if I am touching little rock chips etc.
