2000 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Infiniti Vibe

Welcome to the turn of the millennium, where the G20 was the "compact" king and the QX4 was establishing that luxury SUVs didn't need to look like farm equipment. In the year 2000, Infiniti was all about that understated, sophisticated "Executive" look. While the rest of the world was getting blinded by cheap silver metallics, we've focused our efforts on the survivors that actually had soul-specifically Black Obsidian and Dark Blue Pearl. These weren't just colors; they were statements. If you were driving a Q45 in Black Obsidian, you weren't just going to a meeting; you were the meeting.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real. Being from the 19Model 85-2005 window, your Infiniti is a child of The Peeling Era. By now, that factory clear coat has been fighting the sun for over two decades, and it's likely tired. This was the era of "Delamination." You'll know it when you see it-those ugly, white, flaky edges on the roof or the tops of the fenders that look like your car has a bad case of sunburn. The clear coat starts to lift away from the base color, and once it starts "unzipping," it doesn't stop until it hits a body line or a window seal.

Restoration Tip

If you still have original paint worth saving, you need to be a hawk about stone chips. On these 2000-era finishes, a chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for moisture to get under the clear coat and start the delamination process. Seal your chips immediately. If you see the clear starting to lift at the edge of a scratch, don't just wax over it. Lightly scuff the very edge of the "lift" with a fine-grit abrasive to stop the spread, then hit it with a fresh layer of touch-up. You want to lock those edges down before the clear coat decides to part ways with the car for good.
