COLOR CODE9410 - NoirNissan Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your Frontier or Sentra is a recent model, you have likely noticed that this finish is as honest as a coat of paint gets. It provides a pure, deep blackout that makes the lines of a truck look rugged and the profile of a sedan look much more expensive. It is a classic choice that values a crisp, uniform reflection over the flashy distractions of glitter or sparkle. While it looks incredible when it is clean, this shade is a magnet for dust and fingerprints, so it requires a bit of extra attention to keep that deep, light-absorbing quality.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearl additives. The benefit is a straightforward color match that achieves a much deeper level of black than its metallic cousins. However, solid colors are less forgiving during application. Without those metallic particles to hide imperfections, any unevenness in the layers will be more visible. You want to focus on achieving a smooth, level surface because the eye will catch any texture or ripples in the light.

Best Practices

You can find the confirmation for your color on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually near the bottom of the pillar. Before you spray or dab Nissan Noir (check for code 9410), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the black pigments are perfectly blended. Test the color on the included card to make sure the shade matches your car before you touch the actual bodywork. When you begin, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Work in the shade or a cool garage, applying several thin layers rather than one heavy one, and give each layer plenty of drying time to ensure a flat, professional result.
