now it's time to bring up a dead thread: I, too, have been searching for this paint, and after tons of research, I"ll share a few facts with you before revealing what I"ve found with relation to the paint code/color
1) I"ve read in several places that Redical has code JEL associated with it
2) JEL is the range rover "icelandic blue"
3) FCA uses a "year code" to precede the paint code, so JEL is actually EL, which is inferno red
4) I just ordered a 5 ounce can at $35 to see how close of a match it is
Did you ever try that Inferno red, how did it look?

it's pretty damn close to the red dash interior...can't really tell the difference unless you hold the piece right next to the red dash panel & even then, it's not *THAT* noticeable

Of course I found this thread after I painted mine 😂

I went with Krylon Satin Blue Lagoon spray paint and the rings are sprayed in flat black.. I wanted something that would be close to “infantry blue” and that would really pop. It’s not perfect but I’m super happy with it.

Also ditched the 5” won’tconnect for a Stinger Heigh10 - one of my favorite mods to date.

You’re just here to shame me for my Jeep being filthy!

After seeing my dash in white primer, I was sooo tempted to just wet sand and clear it. Yours looks great!
Thanks, was concerned about glare off my tinted windows but its not too bad

Those pics are really old, however I was just off roading with a fellow jeeper and we had our doors off, spent a good 30-45 minutes cleaning the interior when we were done. compressed air on the dash and vacuum the carpet and seats.

Not really a painted dash, but I thought this might be relevant. I changed my gauges to the Daytona white from US Speedo.

Is it possible to do a wrap like that without taking it off ?
you could possibly wrap it without taking it off

is it gonna look good? probably not

will it be easy? probably not again

having painted mine, it would benefit you greatly to remove it and wrap it, it will fit better and be easier to install. I did mine in a couple of hours (2-3ish) and that's with paint prep and multiple coats, taking the dash apart isn't that hard, just be careful.

there are some youtube videos you could watch.
