Infiniti QX60 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Infiniti really went for it with the QX60, giving us a massive 27 colors to choose from. Whether you're rocking the classic Black Obsidian, the caffeinated Mocha Almond, or the ethereal Moonbow Blue Metallic, this palette is a far cry from the "five shades of rental car silver" we usually see. They even threw in a healthy dose of those fancy Tricoats and Pearls, which look incredible under a streetlight but do require an extra minute of focus in the driveway.
What to Watch For
Before you get started, head over to the driver's side door jamb. Look for the manufacturer's sticker; your paint code is a three-character mix of letters and numbers sitting right under the "COLOR" heading. Now, for the reality check: Infiniti paint is known for being a bit on the "polite" side-it's thin and can be prone to rock chips on the hood or peeling if left to the elements too long. If you see a tiny chip, handle it now. In these models, a small chip today can turn into a flaking "sheet" of paint tomorrow, especially if you have one of the white pearl finishes.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these QX60 shades-like White Pearl Tricoat or Grand Blue Pearl-rely on heavy metallic and pearl flakes, your best friend is the "60-second shake." Shake that touch-up bottle until your arm hurts to wake up those sparkles; otherwise, the "metal" stays at the bottom and your repair will look flat. When applying, remember that three thin, translucent layers will always look better than one big, gooey blob. Think of it like nail polish-patience yields the best shine.
