We have a Sarge green 2021 Rubicon diesel, that has the dreaded bonnet corrosion issue, and now also one of the door hinges just started. It is under warranty, am guessing there will be no issue getting it approved for repair etc, but has anyone had colour matching issues with Sarge Green, I am a little hesitant, as I had an Alfa Romeo, yes I know... but it had a small dent that they had to repair and couldn't colour match the car, eventually the resprayed the whole car and the paint started flaking 1 month later etc etc, eventually they offered to even buy the car form me, they essientailly ruined it. It was Tricolour red though.
In any case, dont want the same issue with a different coloured bonnet that they cant match to the rest of the car, was about to trade in for a 392, this might be another reason.

Would appreciated any feedback on this process.

Cheers

I dont know about the blending but if you have more corrosion than the hood, you may not have to worry about blending....Im getting the entire front painted

Im going through the process now - all parts are in, I just need to schedule after 1 more trip

Make sure you go to a quality dealer, I went to a smaller one initially and they were not thorough at all.

I then went to another dealer who does their body work in-house. They found much more than I noticed, hood, doors, hinges, windshield. They told me jeep requires full replacement of the part, not just fixing. Even if its only minor and if they replace a hinge they have to replace the door too. Im getting all new doors, hinges, hood. Literally the entire front of my jeep will be painted. I say this because your issues of blending may not be an issue if its like mine and the full jeep (minus bed) is getting painted.

You will want to check with whoever you work with and make sure they document everything and walk you through all the issues and what they are replacing and painting.

Good luck

This is a common issue with this year of wranglers. I personally expect they will extend the corrosion warranties on these specific issues?
