100% AGREE!!! The clearcoat gloss is awful. I'm going with glacier because it's the only trailhawk color that's a metallic, and not these tacky solid glossy colors.
Even if some of these colors were metallic coats it would be an improvement. Though matte would be killer.
If I get one it'd be white. Silver would probably be my distant second choice. My last Jeep (96 GC Laredo) was also white. It's easy to take care of and easy to match when paint repair is needed. Plus, I can vinyl wrap the black roof portion instead of paying more to have a body shop paint over the black factory paint.
That aspect of the TH version always bothered me. It just doesn't make the Renegade look any more like a Wrangler or Willy's. Why even try? The Renegade looks much better with matching color on the roof.
The blue could work too, would almost match my '01 BMW M Roadster (1 of 7). But, it's probably too loud of a color for a Jeep.
As for whoever said matte/satin paints look cheap... The first time a matte/satin paint was used on a mass production car was on a special edition Lamborghini Gallardo wearing satin pearlescent white paint. I was working for Nissan/Infiniti's ad agency at the time and got to get up close and personal with it at its LA Auto Show debut during the press/industry days. Let me tell you, it made the 10/10 models hired to work the Lamborghini booth look cheap. At all other manufacturer booths (including Ferrari) people gawked at the models. At Lamborghini, no one paid attention to them (and they were Hhhhhhot!)
Matte/satin paint isn't for everything. It has its place. For the Jeep brand, I think there is definitely a place for it. Plus you don't ever need to wax or polish the paint. Fits Jeep's rugged utilitarian image perfectly.
