Nissan 370Z Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan really leaned into the drama with the 370Z, recording a total of 20 colors that range from the moody, sophisticated Black Rose Pearl to the "notice-me-from-space" Dynamic Sunstone Red Tricoat. They also seem to have had a bit of an obsession with Gray Metallic-there are enough variations in the catalog to make "50 Shades of Gray" look like a coloring book. Whether you're rocking the classic Pearl White or the rare Kishy Blue, Nissan definitely went for it.

What to Watch For

But let's be honest: Nissan paint is notoriously "polite"-it tends to give way to road debris without much of a fight. The 370Z's low-slung nose and wide rear haunches are basically magnets for rock chips. You may also notice the clear coat getting a little thin or flaky around the A-pillars and the front bumper over time. Before you start, find your three-digit paint code (like K23 or QAB) on the white VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. It's usually right there at the bottom of the tag, waiting for its moment in the sun.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Z-colors are Pearls or Tricoats, they rely on tiny metallic flakes to get that signature shimmer. This means you need to shake your touch-up bottle for at least two full minutes-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, think "thin and patient." If you have a deep chip, dab on a tiny bit of paint, let it dry, and come back for a second layer later. Using one big glob is the fastest way to make a repair look like a "zit" on your car's face. Light layers will give you a much cleaner finish that respects the lines of the car.
