Honestly, I would just leave it alone. It'll just get chipped in the future by bugs anyway. Your jeep is very clean as is! However, the best bet isn't going to be cheap. Take it to a paint shop and they can mix you up a small pint of touch up paint or to respray the whole header panel, if you want it to be perfect that is. You could try a color match spray can from the auto stores.
You might need PS5, and not PS2? I ran into that issue with my 97, which is PGF. I bought a can of PG8 by mistake. Got my codes mixed up.

I ordered a touch-up paint pen for some chips around my grill area, and the 'Bright Silver ACC 0410' was apparently the match for my 2001 Silver XJ.
However, the paint clearly doesn't match as it's way too light. Has my paint just darkened over the years or is there a better match out there?
Thanks,

Holy smokes you stold my Jeep!
Been through this with my Jeep which is Silver stone metallic which if i remember correctly is paint code PS5.
Bought touch up paint from Chrysler and it was way way too light not even close.
Bought touch ups from a couple other places. None matched, not even close, too light.
Silver is one of the hardest colors to match.
I visited my friendly body shop and asked them to professionally match the paint then sell me a pint of it.
Wasn't cheap but now i've got more touch up paint than i'll ever need.
Dont limit yourself to just Chrysler paint codes. Sometimes you can find a close match using paint for other makes. For example; Ford, GM, etc. What color matches best i couldnt say, but whatever works.
You're right!.... i think!
Living in a 1st world country (at least for now the way things are going) comes with extremely serious 1st world problems like matching touch up paint.
Seen videos of Cuba on the news a while back.
Wow, mostly old US cars still rolling like vintage '57 Chevy's, etc.
Wonder if they worry about matching touch up paint?
