You can get touch up paint from Mopar (ebay) that is the exact black to match.

The first time I took my Jeep to a trail, branches scraped the coating down to the white material. I used a flat black paint marker to touch it up, something you can find at any hobby store for $1.99.

I haven't been kind to my hard top so I Monstalined (Linex/Rhinoliner equivalent) it.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost? I think that given the price I am thinking, it might just be easier to use the touch up paint every so often?

Given how easy it is to scrape the coating... I'm leaning the direction of bedline or similar, at some point.

Yeah, it really does scratch easily. And considering 100% of my off roading is in the woods, this may not be a terrible idea!
