Paint colors not available??

Well, dealers are color blind, anyway.

Yup, Stellantis is just ahead of the curve. As usual...

I guess pretty soon new Jeep owners won't have to worry about any future bubbling paint problems --- they won't have any paint on them to bubble!

To be fair I just like a bright white vehicle lol.

That being said I do think the other more vibrant colored vehicles look great. Had Tuscadero or Bikini been available I would’ve done it. I actually really like the Sarge green color but I hate how it looks with the rubicon red accents. That color should come standard with the bronze 392 accents and gray dash.

Yep we have a 2018 JLUR in Ocean Blue and had to strip the red outlined decals and so forth off within weeks and put pixel decals on to replace. aaaah much better now.

I heard they will start sending the Jeeps out to the customers unpainted early next month and when the paint comes in they'll just send you out a bucket of the color of your choice and a 9" roller along with a 2" and a 1/2" brush so you can paint it yourself
Not everyone has an air compressor so they chose this route
Just a rumor I'm sure ?

Seems to be a nationwide shortage of about everything, except promises.

I was at my dealership today. I was getting ready to pick up my Earl Wrangler
I was told lucky as they can only order black, white, silver and gray as of last week
has anyone else heard this.
crazy. Has something to do with pigments or something.

I ordered a Pumk'n Rubicon 4xe on Saturday

I promise you that's not the case.

I'm not doubting you at all, Geronimo, but just curious: why would that be? What is causing a sudden shortage of paint pigments? Were a lot of them coming from Russia, maybe?

But now that you mention it, I had a hard time earlier this past summer in finding water-based polyurethane for a project I was working on. I would have used Varathane, as I've used before, but I couldn't find it at Lowes or Home Depot (or anywhere else in Anchorage, for that matter), and had to settle for the Behr version.

Prices were really climbing on paint this summer. We purchased an industrial polyurethane for our bus project, just a simple light desaturated green, and it was $600 per gallon. luckily we only needed 2 gallons, and luckily my wife's father retired from sherwin williams after 40 years, so we got a massive discount.

YES THIS. I would have loved the bronze decals on ours. Haven't decided if I'm removing the decals when I get ours home, or what.

The dealers won’t even notice. All they order is white, black and silver. An assortment of grays. That’s it ! They probably just discontinued all the colors because nobody’s ordering them. Was just at the car lots this weekend with my beautiful green Mojito Jeep. It was a sea of black and white.

Proud to be one of the non-gray

I've been waiting for the 23 Ram configurator. Keep seeing the price go up daily. Ordered 23 Ram on 11-4 without configurator. Told no GT, no Sport Appearance, no 5.7 without ETorque, colors available: Black, Delmonico, Patriate Blue, White & Ivory White Tri-Coat. Went Ivory even though I've never seen it . Times are really weird, hope things start getting better 11-8-22. PS just trying to get my ice buckets while I still can.
