Have about four or five quarter sized rust spots to fix on the GW. I am attempting this myself for the first time, but need to know if anyone knows a good spray paint color match for the Maroon Exterior in 88. I tried paintmatch and a couple other sites but none seem to have what it looks like.

Thanks in advance!

ps (any tips for a first timer with rust repair?)

Paintscratch.com didn't have it? Grenadine metallic?

what does your data plate show for a color code on the Jeep?

yeah i saw the grenadine metallic but was uncomfortable with the color online. Just doesn't look like it matches that well? I will have to check the inspection plate when I get off duty.

It may be that your monitor is not showing the color accurately (that's common). Also, your paint has been in the sun for a long time, it may not match fresh factory color anymore. If you want a close match, you may have to go to a good paint shop and have them match it.
