Nissan 300ZX Touch Up Paint (41 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just make a sports car with the 300ZX; they made a rolling art gallery. With 42 colors recorded over its lifespan, they really went for it. Whether you're rocking the iconic Aztec Red, the complex Yellow Pearl Tri-coat, or the deep Midnight Blue Pearl, Nissan's 90s palette was a masterclass in "look at me" aesthetics. From "Moonglow" to "Flare Red," these cars were designed to catch the light-and your neighbor's attention.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "DNA code." Pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) or the radiator support bracket for a small ID plate. You're looking for a 3-digit code like AG2 or KH3.

The 300ZX is a legend, but its clear coat can be a bit of a drama queen. Because these cars sit low to the ground, the "nose" is a magnet for gravel chips. You might also notice the clear coat on the rear hatch or roof looking a bit like a bad sunburn-peeling or turning cloudy. Don't worry, it's not terminal; it just means the factory finish has lived a full life in the sun. If you see bubbling near the window trim or door handles, that's just the car's way of asking for a little extra attention before the weather gets to the metal.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many 300ZX colors (especially the pearls and metallics) are what we call "multi-stage" looks. If you're using a touch-up bottle, shake it for a full 60 seconds-and I mean "maraca-solo" levels of shaking. This wakes up the metallic flakes and pearls that have been napping at the bottom of the bottle.

When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip with one big glob. Instead, use the tip of your brush to dab in a thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and come back for a second pass. For those tricky Tri-coats, it requires patience to get the depth right, but building it up slowly is the secret to a repair that disappears into the bodywork.
