I'm looking to paint my cross bars low gloss bronze to match the rest of the car, has anyone found a good paint match for this color? Any pics?!

I was wondering if you thought about a vinyl wrap for them? I am trying to make up my mind about getting a distressed American flag on my hood in flat bronze to match my 75th edition and I have seen a flat bronze that's a pretty close match.

I dont have any experience with wrapping so I figured painting it would be cheap and easy. I actually bought at Home Depot yesterday a color called "flat chestnut." It's a low glass metallic. I held the colored cap next to the roof rails as soon as I got outside, expecting it would probably be off a little and to my surprise it's almost exact! So if it dries the color of the cap I think I found a winner. I will post pics once I paint. Hopefully by next weekend.

sounds good! I haven't had time to go to the store yet, so if you find the match first it works for me:)

Powdercoat Low Bronze Gloss

I have a 2016 Mojave Sand 75th Special Addition .All the Jeep's that have the Bronze color on there wheels,trim,and grille were made By TCI Powder coating .They were the one that got the color mixture for the Jeep Product . You have to go thru your local Powder coating place and have them order what you need. That's the only way to get in. Comes in 1/3/5 lb bags. I bought a 5 lb bag for $140 Perfect Jeep Bronze match.

Let me know how it matches, have been looking myself with no luck.

It isn't that great of a match. I decided to use a low glass enamel in black. It's been to humid to do anything but hopefully I can paint sometime soon.

Thanks for the feedback!


FYI After my neighbour smashed mine the refurb'ed one of the bronze wheels.
Next time I'm down that way I'll try and get the paint code for what they
used. I guess they go a custom mix done.

75th Anniversary Trim Pieces

Recently got my order of an Anvil 1.4 4x4 Latitude. I would have ordered the 75th Anniversary but it wasn't available with the specs I wanted.
Anyone have any leads where to get the bronze accent pieces from the 75th Anniversary Edition or the part numbers for the Renegade and Jeep badges as well as the fog surrounds and grill inserts? I like the look of the bronze and I'm not confident in my ability to recreate the color with Plastidip. Thanks for any help all!

I've seen the Jeep and Anniversary badges on EBay. As for the accent pieces, you might have to check junkyards.

We really need this paint code.

My resprayed rear wheel doesn't
match the originals and has to
go back to be re-done in the coming weeks...
