COLOR CODEB22 - Silver BlueNissan Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Primera or Sentra comes from an era where silver was king, but this shade added a cool, icy twist. It is a reserved color that shifts between a bright metallic silver and a soft sky blue depending on the sunlight. Because these cars have spent about twenty years on the road, the finish may have lost some of its original depth. This makes a fresh touch-up stand out if you do not blend the edges. It is a fantastic color for hiding a week of road dust, but it will not hide a poor repair if the metallic flakes do not lay flat.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it relies on microscopic flakes to catch the light. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes sink and clump, which creates dark, blotchy patches. Consistency is the only way to win here. Because it is a lighter metallic, any uneven thickness in the coat shows up as a shadow once the paint reaches its full drying time. You want thin, even layers to keep the blue undertone from looking muddy.

Best Practices

Start by checking the identification plate on the driver's side door jamb or the firewall in the engine compartment to confirm your match. Before you spray or dab Nissan Silver Blue (check for code B22), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is non-negotiable for metallics because the heavy flakes settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and how the flakes sit. When you move to the car, work in the shade and keep the container moving to ensure the paint lands in even layers.
