COLOR CODE701G - BlackInfiniti Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the final chapter of a flagship era. Since your Q45 has likely been on the road since 2006, it carries a level of executive presence that modern cars often struggle to match. Unlike the more common metallic shades of that period, this shade is pure and authoritative. It does not rely on sparkles to get attention. Instead, it offers a deep, ink-like depth that acts as a mirror for the world around it. Before you spray or dab Infiniti Black (check for code 701G), you need to shake it for 60 seconds.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearl additives. While this makes it simpler to match the color itself, it is less forgiving than other paints during application. Without metallic particles to scatter light, every tiny scratch or ripple in your repair will be visible. Solid black is the ultimate test of your surface preparation. The trade-off is that you get a finish with much more visual weight and a darker tone than you would find in a metallic variant.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Because this color is so dark, the secret to a professional result is the environment. Work in a shaded garage to keep the body panels cool to the touch. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current paint. When applying the color, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots that might sag. Patience is your ally here, so give the paint plenty of drying time between your light coats before finishing with your clearcoat.
