2005 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 2005 Infiniti Vibe

It's 2005. You're rolling in a G35 Coupe or maybe that bubble-shaped FX45, feeling like the king of the suburban valet stand. This was the year Infiniti decided that "luxury" meant giving you 20 different ways to say silver, gray, and sand. We've got every single one of them in our database, from the heavy-hitting Black Obsidian to the "look-at-me" glow of Beryllium 16 Metallic. Whether you were rocking the refined Silverstone Metallic or the desert-chic Serengeti Sand Metallic, these cars were built for the era of low-rise jeans and oversized sunglasses. You didn't just buy a car; you bought a statement of mid-aughts ambition that looked just as good at the golf course as it did in the office parking lot.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's talk shop. We are sitting right at the tail end of the "Peeling Era." Back then, the factory clear coats were looking deep and glossy on the showroom floor, but the bond between that base color and the clear wasn't exactly a "til death do us part" situation. If you've spent any time looking at an old QX56 or a G35 that's lived its life outside, you know the horror: delamination. It starts as a tiny white haze on the roof or the trunk-what we call the "sunburn phase"-and before you know it, the clear coat is lifting off in sheets like a bad case of holiday peeling. Once that clear goes, the color underneath is defenseless. If your Twilight Blue Pearl or Ivory Pearl Tricoat is starting to look "crusty" around the edges, the clock is officially ticking.

Restoration Tip

If you want to keep that 2005 shine from turning into a 2025 disaster, you've got to be a hawk about rock chips. In this era, a chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's a breach in the hull. Once moisture and air get under that clear coat, it starts to lift, and once it starts, it doesn't stop. Seal those chips immediately. Don't just dab some paint on and call it a day-clean the area, apply your base, and make sure that clear seal is airtight. Think of it like a bandage on a cut; you're stopping the infection before it spreads. Catch it early, and you're a genius; wait too long, and you're paying me for a full respray. Your choice, kid.
