PUNK'N Gladiator JT Club

I'd ask around and see if any other punkins are the same and see if any other colors have the same

I don’t mean to be dramatic about this, but when mine gets delivered, if it’s like this, I might end up walking.
How do you not properly color match the whole vehicle? I’d rather be delayed an extra month or two then get a half baked product.

It's definitely odd . I would think they would notice this in inspection

Is it the same material? Or is the cap plastic? Not like it should matter, just trying to figure out why

Different material. You'd think FCA could make them match no matter the material.

Sales guy said all the colors are all slightly off. Maybe it's just more noticeable in orange?

Took the Gladiator down to Hocking Hills yesterday for it's first road trip. I find I keep stepping out into the garage to make sure it's still there.

Hard to tell in pics, but does anyone else have a different color gas cover? Kinda annoying that they don't match since it is way more noticeable in person.

Not on my gas door, but painted fenders are slightly darker, most people don't even see it

Maybe jeep knows, that's why I remember noticing on this picture the truck is missing its gas cap?

Expand the photo and compare the fenders and grill to the hood and see if you notice a slight difference

Let me go check my gas cover. Oh wait.....

Really? Gas door matches perfect? I might ring up my sales guy and see if he can get a replacement. Mine is extremely noticeable in person.

Can you give us a different angle or lighting or both? It looks perfect from there, so just trying to see if this is some or all of the punk’ns

Direct sunlight, you can see the slight difference in the fender, but gas door is fine

Punk'n Metallic is a unique color because it contains glass flakes, rather than metal flakes or "pearl" balls that Jeep is more familiar with. It seems manufacturers often have a challenging time with unique colors. There's a 2019 Mustang Bullitt near where I work. The green on it is gorgeous, but in direct sunlight, you can see that the paint doesn't lay the same on the plastic bumper as it does on the metal hood. It's perfectly obvious to a casual observer.

I wonder if something similar is going on here. Doesn't excuse it, but the unique nature of the paint might help explain it.
