COLOR CODEFAH - Light Blue MetallicInfiniti Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the early 2010s aesthetic of the EX35, offering a sophisticated alternative to the sea of silver and gray crossovers on the road. It has an airy, aquatic quality that emphasizes the rounded, organic shapes of your Infiniti. Since your vehicle has spent over a decade in the sun and rain, you will find that this shade is remarkably forgiving. It hides light road dust and water spots far better than darker blues, keeping the car looking clean even when you haven't had time for a wash.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. These metal particles are heavier than the paint pigment and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you don't get them moving, the color will look dull or flat. Metallic paints also carry a risk of mottling, which shows up as dark, blotchy streaks. This happens when the paint is applied too thick, causing the flakes to float together in clusters instead of laying down in an even blanket.

Best Practices

Your paint code is located on the manufacturing sticker on the driver's side door jamb, though you might also find it on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Before you apply Infiniti Light Blue Metallic (verify you have code FAH), shake the container for at least two minutes. You need to hear the mixing ball rattling the entire time to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to avoid pooling and give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays level and uniform.
