Infiniti Beige Silk Metallic (CK0) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule from the era when the J30 and Q45 redefined Japanese luxury. It is far more sophisticated than a standard tan, offering a soft, lustrous sheen that perfectly complements the rounded, organic lines of early nineties Infiniti design. Because your car has likely been on the road for thirty years, the original finish has probably developed a unique character from decades of sunlight. This champagne-adjacent shade was designed to look expensive and understated, providing a glow that hides road dust much better than a pure white or silver ever could.

Technical Details

You are working with a true metallic finish, which relies on a precise suspension of fine flakes to catch the light. The biggest challenge with this specific paint is mottling-those dark, cloudy streaks that happen when the metallic particles clump together. If you apply the paint too heavily or unevenly, the flakes will pile up and ruin the "silk" effect. To avoid this, you must focus on building the color through several light, even coats. This ensures the metal particles lay down flat and uniform, preserving that seamless factory glow.

Best Practices

Before you begin the repair in your garage or a patch of shade, locate the identification plate on your firewall or inside the driver's side door jamb to confirm you have the right match. Before you apply a single drop of Infiniti Beige Silk Metallic (check for code CK0), you must shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes to fully integrate the heavy metallic sediments. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the car to see how the flakes settle. When you start painting, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent pooling. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays crisp and professional.
