Infiniti Mint Frost Pearl Metallic (JJ0) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Owning a J30 means you are driving one of the most distinct shapes of the nineties. This color was a cornerstone of that era, designed in California to replace the sharp angles of the eighties with soft, organic curves. It is a light, sophisticated green that mimics the appearance of sea glass or oxidized copper. Because your car has likely been on the road for three decades, the original finish has probably shifted slightly in tone, so your repair is more about preservation than perfection. This shade remains a hallmark of the "bio-design" movement and gives your Infiniti a period-correct, high-end aesthetic that modern silvers and grays cannot replicate.

Technical Details

This is a pearl metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes and pearl particles to catch the light. These ingredients are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container quickly. If they are not distributed evenly, you will notice dark spots or stripes, often called mottling. This happens when the metallic flakes bunch together instead of laying flat. Because it is a light color, any unevenness in the flake distribution will be visible, so you must be mindful of how the paint lands on the surface.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a metal plate located on the engine bay firewall or inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Infiniti Mint Frost Pearl Metallic (check for code JJ0), you need to shake it for at least sixty seconds to wake up those heavy pearl particles. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes settle before you touch the car. To avoid dark patches, keep the container moving with every pass. If you are using a brush or pen, use light layers rather than one thick coat to keep the finish level. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the metallic particles stay exactly where you want them.
