1997 Nissan Maxima Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

Use the paint code from the Nissan Maxima label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

For the Nissan Maxima, start with the make-specific code guidance: Nissan paint color codes are on the driver's door jamb. Some labels are low on the jamb and require bending to read. The color label may be small. Codes are typically three characters long using letters and numbers; sometimes a space and a fourth character follow. The same code can have different marketing names across models. AX6 corresponds to Redline Clearcoat; AX6 may also be called Red Clearcoat or High Performance Clearcoat. Nissan North America phone number is 1-800-647-7261. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Nissan Maxima. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

For Nissan Maxima repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
