Infiniti New Beige Pearl Metallic (EY0) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the definitive signature of early 2000s luxury. If you drive an I35, QX4, or one of the early M45 or F-series models, this shade represents an era where champagne and gold tones ruled the road. It provides a sophisticated, warm glow that hides road dust better than almost any other finish in the lineup. However, because your vehicle has likely spent two decades in the sun, the original finish might have shifted slightly from its factory brightness. This is a quiet, confident color that relies on its depth rather than high-contrast shine to make an impression.

Technical Details

This finish is a Pearl Metallic, which makes it more complex than a standard silver or tan. It contains both traditional metallic flakes and translucent pearl pigments that catch the light at different angles. The biggest risk here is mottling-those strange, cloudy dark spots that appear if the pigments aren't distributed evenly. This happens when the metallic particles clump together during application. Because the pearl elements are heavier than the base tint, they tend to settle at the bottom of your container quickly, which can lead to a color that looks too dark or too dull if you aren't careful with your technique.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on the firewall, located at the back of the engine compartment, or on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Infiniti New Beige Pearl Metallic (check for code EY0), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is not a suggestion; the pearl and metallic particles must be fully suspended to get an even match. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles before touching your car. When applying, keep the container moving and use several thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Work in a Garage or a well-lit Shade to prevent the sun from drying the paint too fast, and give it plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the pearl sits flat and uniform.
