Does anyone know what Krylon spray can color matches OEM Stone White the best ?? There are about 6 different whites.
That’s a gamble but this much I can tell you- Stone white is a dirtier white than pure white-Does anyone know what Krylon spray can color matches OEM Stone White the best ?? There are about 6 different whites.
This. Iv'e used Dupli-color on a couple vehicles and was happy with the match.I used duplicolor matches really good. I repaired the outer edge of this fender the paint seam is right near my finger. Paint matches good my crappy body work not so much.

Sorry for the resurrecion, but I went through this before, and I am going through the same thing again. I took my Stone White 1997 Wrangler Sport 4.0 ORO to a body shop to have the hood and door repainted. They ordered the PW1 Stone White and it wasn't a close match at all. They explained that the paint after 10-20 years, changes because of the weather and what is going on underneath the paint. The UV rays and everything changes a bright color like white more than any other paint color. Black would be the least effected. So, they had to adjust the match and they gave me different blends from the PW1 to match my paint. Then, spraying the paint without the clearcoat isn't going to look that great either. I had tried that before I took it to the high end body shop. I found out that my interior rails along my windshield didn't even have a clear coat, and when i tried to clean them, the paint just came off in a lot of places revealing the black metal underneath. So, I have to re-spray that area for my vehicle restoration. I am the Original Registered Owner. I came here to recall the proper paint code for the paint order, and I saw this thread and I thought that I would comment. Hope this comment is helpful. Sorry for the resurrection.
Used the paint from zack and worked fine for me. But not that fussy. D
Did you clear coat it like the factory? I used the PW1 Stone White in the past, and it looked nothing like the factory paint with the clear coat. It looked dull and chalky without the clear coat. I want to redo my front fenders, and I'm seriously leaning towards clear coating them afterwards with the factory clear coat too because of past experiences. I think I'll probably do a few thin PW1 coats, 6000 grade wet sand, and then clear coat them.

Most white paints of that era were single stage. No separate clear coat. Think the same may even apply today to generic whites without pearls and etc.Then, spraying the paint without the clearcoat isn't going to look that great either.

Code PW1, correct? Before painting I'd call a local automotive paint and body supply and make sure something like this isn't what is actually on the Jeep.My stone white 05 lj definitely has a clear coat. It has the famous cracking clear coat on the grill. Also my 2011 white tundra does not have a clear coat oddly enough.
