Infiniti Black (bumper) (AG01) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 2006 Q45 represents the peak of Infiniti luxury from that era, and this specific black trim was designed to give the car a grounded, authoritative stance. Because this shade is reserved for the lower sections and bumpers, it acts as a visual anchor for the entire vehicle. It provides a crisp, deep contrast that frames the body, ensuring the flagship sedan looks as heavy and expensive as it feels. Since your Q45 has likely spent nearly two decades facing road debris and driveway curbs, refreshing this trim is the fastest way to restore that original showroom presence.

Technical Details

This is a solid black finish, which means it lacks the metallic flakes or pearl dust found in the main body colors. The benefit is a deep, obsidian-like appearance that is much easier to match than a complex metallic. You do not have to worry about mottling or the pigments settling into uneven stripes. However, because it is a high-gloss solid, it will reveal every tiny ripple or scratch in your prep work. Take your time with the sandpaper, because once the paint goes on, any surface flaw will stand out against the dark, mirror-like surface.

Best Practices

To verify you have the right match, look for your paint ID on the driver's side door jamb or on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Before you spray or dab Infiniti Black (bumper) (check for code AG01), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the pigments are perfectly distributed for a consistent shade. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the car to confirm the depth. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to avoid heavy buildup or runs. Allow plenty of drying time between each light layer, and finish with a clear coat to protect the repair from future road salt and sun damage.
