It is pearl black (Color Code: PXR). There is a small chip in the paint above the rear passenger side wheel well that is showing rust. I bought the appropriate color paint from Mopar, but I'm not really sure how to proceed. I am concerned that simply painting over it will not resolve the issue entirely. Do I need to "sand" away the rust or something? If I don't, will the finish be bumpy there? With winter fast approaching, I'd like to get this taken care of soon to prevent any issues. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -------------------------------- 2009 Jeep Patriot Sport 2.0L Automatic CVT Front Wheel Drive 4-Door Black (PXR) Approximately 50,000 miles Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 4, 2013, 7:25 AM Post #2 of 3 (2295 views) Re: 2009 Jeep Patriot has paint chip that is rusting Sign In There is really nothing you can do yourself that won't look terrible. You will destroy the paint job. Take it to a professional and let him touch it up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. cjwinn New User Dec 4, 2013, 7:49 AM Post #3 of 3 (2288 views) Re: 2009 Jeep Patriot has paint chip that is rusting Sign In Alright, I will take it in. I'm just looking to get this in good shape.
