Nissan Light Blue Metallic (FAF) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the hallmark of the first-generation Rogue refresh. It is a light, airy shade that gives your car a clean, approachable appearance without being flashy. Since your Nissan has likely been on the road for a decade or more, this finish has probably held up well against the elements. This specific silver-blue hue is famous for its ability to hide light road dust and salt, though deep scratches will show up more clearly than they would on a darker car.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and provide that characteristic shimmer. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, which looks like dark spots or uneven clouds in the finish if the flakes are not distributed evenly. If you are too heavy with your application or do not maintain a consistent flow, those flakes will bunch up and ruin the match. You want those metallic particles to lay flat and uniform across the surface to ensure the repair disappears into the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

To verify your match, look at the identification sticker on the driver's side door jamb near the bottom. Before you spray or dab Nissan Light Blue Metallic (check for code FAF), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to wake up the heavy metallic flakes that settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes react before you touch the car. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to prevent pooling or sagging. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers so the finish can set properly. If you are working in your Garage or Shade, make sure you have enough light to see that the metallic particles are laying down evenly.
