This site may help. These are the 2012 codes. You can enter a different year for specifics to it, etc.

Careful going to the stealership. They will metaphorically rape you over factory paint. I have a 13 jku gecko and I shopped around on the www to get the best price in order to do custom paint work on my own. Enjoy.

Not sure of your location, but I would think a automotive paint store may be your answer. Mix it, match it and all for a portion of the stealer ship price. It would be worth a check!!

You might be able to find a shop to do it for a couple hundred bucks. By the time you buy sealer, hardener, or primer and hardener, paint, clear coat and activator, and a paint gun, and some acetone or lacquer thinner to clean the gun with, some wax and grease remover to clean the parts with, scotch brute pads or sand paper or lemon pads...might just be cheaper to have someone else do it. I charged my neighbor $100 IIRC do to an air dam for his Ram truck, but that was mostly materials and was the good neighbor discount.

And if you don't know what your doing, don't do it right, it won't last and it'll look like crap pretty quickly. A good shop will warranty the product and workmanship for life.

And if he was a bad neighbor?

Seriously, good advice HardRooster. There's always a decent painter around who works out of his garage etc.

It's a couple of tow hooks.....go to the dealer (or qtec...or steve white mopar) and buy the gecko spray paint. It's an OEM part so it matches perfectly. Clean the hooks, paint the hooks, clear the hooks, use the hooks. There's no need to go all out and get a shop to paint the hooks.

Just get it from dealer. It's what I did for the same project. $10 for either the pen or can. Don't turn it into a huge production. Here's what the look like...
