Infiniti FX35/FX45 Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti didn't just make a crossover; they made a "bionic cheetah," and they gave it a wardrobe to match. With 9 recorded colors, they really went for it-offering everything from the legendary Beryllium 16 Metallic (which sounds like something from a periodic table in the future) to the bold Orange Metallic and the sophisticated Serengeti Sand Metallic. Whether you're rocking the deep Dark Blue Pearl or the crisp White Pearl Tri-Coat, these colors were designed to highlight the FX's aggressive curves, even if they've picked up a few "nature-inflicted" beauty marks over the years.

What to Watch For

Here's the deal: Infiniti paint from this era is famously "soft." While that makes it look great when it's shiny, it also means that long, sloping hood acts like a horizontal target for every pebble on the highway. If you have Black Obsidian, you probably already know it shows every tiny hairline mark. You'll usually find your three-digit paint code (like KH3 or WV2) in one of two places: check the driver's side door jamb first, but if it's not there, pop the hood and look for a metal plate on the passenger-side firewall near the back of the engine bay. Keep an eye on the roof and the top of the rear spoiler-those spots take the most sun and are usually the first to lose their luster.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these colors are packed with metallic flakes or pearl (especially that White Pearl Tri-Coat), your best friend is a timer. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-no cheating-to wake up those heavy metallic particles that settle at the bottom. When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. If you go for one big "blob," it will dry darker than the rest of the car. Instead, use a "less is more" approach: dab a tiny bit, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then come back for a second layer. It requires a bit of patience, but it's the secret to making that repair disappear into the bodywork.
