2007 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (25 OEM Colors)

The 2007 Infiniti Vibe

Welcome to 2007-the year Rihanna's "Umbrella" was stuck on loop and the "Bionic Cheetah" FX45 was the baddest SUV in the corporate parking lot. If you were rolling in a G35 or a QX56 back then, you were part of Infiniti's golden era of "Japanese Luxury with a Chip on its Shoulder." Our database tracks 25 distinct colors for this year, and let's be honest, Infiniti was obsessed with the details. They didn't just give you "Grey"; they gave you Beryllium 16 Metallic and Umbria Grey. They didn't just do "Red"; they gave you Garnet Fire and Crimson Roulette. It was a time of high-shimmer pearls and deep, liquid-look metallics that made the competition look like they were painted with a house roller.

Paint Health Check

Here's the reality from the spray booth: You're officially in the Thin Paint Era. By 2007, the factory robots at the Tochigi plant had become terrifyingly efficient. They perfected the art of "just enough," spraying the bare minimum amount of clear coat to save weight and material while still looking like a million bucks on the showroom floor. Because of this "Robot Efficiency," the clear coat on your G35 or M45 is likely hard but brittle. If you've spent any time on the highway, your front bumper probably looks like it's been on the receiving end of a birdshot blast. Specifically, Black Obsidian owners know the struggle-it's a gorgeous, deep ink, but it's notorious for being "soft," picking up swirl marks if you so much as look at it the wrong way.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing those inevitable stone chips, remember: Patience beats a heavy hand. Because these factory coats are so thin, you can't just "blob and go." If you put down one giant drop of paint, it'll shrink, leave a ridge, and look like a localized zit. Instead, build your repair in thin, translucent layers. Dab a tiny bit of color into the chip, let it flash off for ten minutes, and repeat until the depth matches the surrounding panel. This mimics the factory's multi-stage process and ensures the repair stays flush. And for the love of the craft, stay away from those automated "brush washes" unless you want your Ivory Pearl looking like it was scrubbed with a Brillo pad.
