Infiniti Gray Metallic (KAD) Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you drive a G37 or an FX35, you probably see this color every single day. It is the signature look for the brand and defines the modern era of their design. This mid-tone gray offers a professional appearance that manages to look expensive even if you haven't washed the car in a week. Because models like the EX35 and G25 have been on the road for several years, you will likely notice that this shade is excellent at hiding the fine road rash and light dust that accumulates over time. It is a practical choice that rewards owners who want their car to look tidy without constant maintenance.

Technical Details

This finish relies on a heavy concentration of metallic flakes to create its depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container while sitting on a shelf. If you apply the paint without proper mixing, the color will look dull or mismatched because the metal particles aren't reaching the surface. Before you spray or dab Infiniti Gray Metallic (check for code KAD), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up that metallic shimmer. Without those flakes properly suspended, you risk a finish that looks like a flat, muddy gray instead of the deep metallic it was meant to be.

Best Practices

Start by locating your paint code on the silver VIN plate, which is usually found on the driver side door jamb or occasionally on the firewall in the engine compartment. Move your car into a garage or some shade to ensure the metal is cool to the touch. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down before you touch the car. When you begin, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling or the metallic particles from bunching up. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, apply the paint in light layers and give the area plenty of drying time between each pass. This patience ensures the new finish sits level with the original paint.
