If you've ordered half doors need to check them ASAP. Found out today mine are 3-5 shades off. Working with my Dealer who's about 2hrs. away to get this resolved. The Cowl is off too. Just an FYI. An employee of Jeep on FB said those are the worst he's ever seen. Scott Blum saw them as well.

Cowl, Front grill, fenders, half doors, and something else are painted somewhere else. Though I'm in Chicagoland I figured I'll deal with half doors in Spring. Dealer said check them ASAP. Jeep won't do shit 6 months down the line.

My Dealer is 2hrs away not lugging this shit back and forth I hope. I know they need to take pics for documentation. I'm going to assume all 4 are the same lot so they all will be same color? Should only need to bring 1. When this was an issue with Hellcat fender flares they were fixed at shops on FCA's buck. Can't see a scenario where they ship me new ones and hope they match.

Wow, someone seriously fucked up when they were doing that paint. Hopefully the resolution is swift and pleasant.

Don't need them until next Spring so that's a bonus. My Dealer is solid. Want it in next Thursday to start the process. Thanks man. Just hope others don't have this issue. Have seen a few in Blue and Sting that were really off.

QC at Jeep has clearly become a problem. They really need to fix this.

I would seriously check all non factory painted parts closely half doors or not. Should not have to worry about these types of things in an 84k vehicle.

They can't even get the factory paint correct. After a week of my 392 I noticed bare spots in the engine bay underneath where the cowl mounts. I also notice on both sides of the cowls the balck was thin, about 1" x 1/4" of bubbles on the freedom top, both jams on the pillar between the front and rear door one side was glossy, the other was dry. I admitted my OCD, took them a month to get it perfect. I asked for a TRX or a Hellcat for a loaner to keep up my standard of living, got a Compass.

Lol @ Compass. Did you take yours to a local shop to be fixed?
