Infiniti Dark Green Pearl (DT2) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Q45 was the pinnacle of Japanese executive luxury at the turn of the millennium, and this specific shade of green was its most dignified suit. It carries a heavy, forest-like depth that looks nearly black in the shade but reveals a sharp emerald glow when the sun hits the panels. Because your car has survived over twenty years of highway miles, the original finish might be slightly weathered, but this dark pigment is excellent for masking deeper scratches that lighter silvers would highlight.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is fundamentally different from a standard solid color. It uses mica flakes to bend light, giving the paint its signature dimension. The danger here is application thickness; if you apply the paint too heavily, the mica flakes will sink and the finish will look muddy or uneven. You want to build the color with light, controlled passes to let the green shimmer sit on top rather than drowning in the base.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Infiniti Dark Green Pearl (check for code DT2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pearl particles are fully suspended. You will find your paint code on the manufacturer's sticker, usually located on the driver's side door jamb or on the firewall behind the engine. To get the best result in your garage or the shade, always test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes lay. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling, and give it ample drying time between layers to prevent the color from shifting as it sets.
