COLOR CODEG01 - Black (Rocker Panel Color)Nissan Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This isn't a color meant for the spotlight; it is the armor that protects the lower half of your vehicle from the daily assault of road debris. Whether it is shielding the lower trim of a family Quest or defining the aggressive lines of a 240SX, this black provides a visual anchor that makes the rest of your paint pop. Because your Nissan has likely spent years facing salt, sand, and gravel, this trim often fades or takes the brunt of stone chips. Restoring it doesn't just fix a scratch-it restores the sharp, factory-fresh contrast that makes these older models look well-kept rather than worn out.

Technical Details

This is a solid, low-gloss finish. You won't find any metallic flakes or pearls hiding in the pigment because their sparkle would look out of place on a textured rocker panel. The real challenge with a matte or low-gloss black is matching the sheen. Over time, original trim can turn a chalky gray or develop a slight shine from years of waxing. If you are working on an Altima or a 200SX, remember that the finish is designed to be understated. A common mistake is piling the paint on too thick, which can lead to a glossy look that doesn't match the rest of the trim.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Nissan Black (Rocker Panel Color) (check for code G01), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code on the driver's side door jamb or on the passenger-side firewall inside the engine compartment. To get the best match, always test the color on the included card first. This allows you to see how the sheen settles as it dries. When you are ready for the actual repair, keep the container moving to ensure the pigment stays even. Apply thin layers rather than one heavy coat, and give it plenty of drying time between applications to avoid any unwanted runs or texture issues in the garage.
