Nissan Truck Touch Up Paint (110 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan has never been afraid to experiment with the color wheel. Over the years, they've recorded a staggering 123 colors for their trucks. Whether you're rocking a classic 80s Desert Yellow, a bold Sunrise Orange, or the deep, moody Midnight Blue Metallic, Nissan really went for it. They transitioned from the bright, solid "work truck" vibes of the early days to some truly complex pearls like Burgundy Pearl Metallic. If your truck looks like it belongs in a neon-soaked 1986 sunset, you're in good company.

What to Watch For

Nissan trucks are legendary for their engines, but the paint can sometimes be a little more "sensitive." If you own a white truck (look for Cloud White or Alpine White), you might notice the paint likes to part ways with the primer in large flakes, almost like it's tired of holding on. The clear coat on the hood and roof also tends to get "sunburned" and flake away if it spends too much time outside.

Before you start, find your 3-digit paint code (like KH3 or K12). You'll usually find it on a silver sticker on the driver's side door jamb or tucked away on the firewall under the hood. If you see two codes, don't panic-Nissan loved a good two-tone look back in the day.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Nissan colors are metallics or pearls (like Diamond Mist Metallic), those tiny flakes of "sparkle" inside your touch-up bottle like to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired-to wake up the metallic flakes.

When applying, less is more. Instead of one big glob to fill a chip, dab on a paper-thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and come back for another. If you're dealing with a peeling edge, resist the urge to pull the loose paint! Just clean the area gently and use your brush to seal the edge where the paint meets the metal to stop the "zipper effect" from spreading. It requires patience, but your truck will thank you.
