Where to find Nissan color code

How to Find Your Nissan's Color Code

Nissan paint color codes are on the driver's door jamb. Some labels are low on the jamb and require bending to read. The color label may be small. Codes are typically three characters long using letters and numbers; sometimes a space and a fourth character follow. The same code can have different marketing names across models. AX6 corresponds to Redline Clearcoat; AX6 may also be called Red Clearcoat or High Performance Clearcoat. Nissan North America phone number is 1-800-647-7261.

Your Paint Color Profile

Silver Metallic

The Look

This shade has served as a reliable staple for Nissan since 2012, appearing on the high-roofed Quest, the ubiquitous Rogue, and the sleek Ariya. It carries a professional, technical feel that manages to look clean even after a long week of commuting through road salt or dust. Because your car has likely seen a few years of action, you will find that this silver is excellent at masking light surface wear, though it needs a proper metallic distribution to regain its original depth and shimmer.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on a specific density of aluminum flakes to create its signature reflection. These flakes are prone to settling, and if they are not suspended correctly, you will see mottling-dark, cloudy patches that make the repair look uneven. The challenge with Nissan Silver Metallic is ensuring those flakes lay flat and uniform. If they bunch up, the repair will appear darker than the factory paint on your door or hood, especially when viewed from an angle in the sun.

Best Practices

Start by confirming your paint code on the driver's side door jamb, where you will see the designation KAY on the factory identification sticker. Before you use your tool, you must shake the container for at least one full minute to get those metallic flakes moving. Work in the shade or a cool garage to prevent the paint from drying mid-stroke. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shimmer looks consistent. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and use several light layers rather than one heavy coat. This patience ensures the flakes settle naturally for a clean match.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Nissan Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Nissan's color code is 'KAY', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Nissan, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
