2014 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 2014 Infiniti Vibe

Welcome to 2014, the year Infiniti decided every car they made deserved a "Q" in its name. Whether you were carving through traffic in the brand-new Q50, flexing in a Q60, or hauling a small zip code in the massive QX80, you were part of a luxury rebrand for the ages. Our database shows a staggering 23 colors for this year alone-Infiniti wasn't just selling cars; they were selling a mood board. From the enigmatic "Brownish Purple Pearl" to the legendary "White Pearl Tricoat," the factory was leaning hard into deep, multi-stage finishes that looked like a million bucks under a showroom spotlight.

Paint Health Check

By 2014, we had firmly entered the "Thin Paint Era." The factory robots in Japan were getting so efficient they could practically spray a car with a mist of paint and a prayer. While the marketing brochures bragged about "Scratch Shield" self-healing clear coats, the reality on the asphalt was a bit different. That clear coat is "soft" by design to help it flow back together after a light swirl mark, but it's no match for a piece of North American limestone at 70 mph. If your Q50 hood looks like it's been through a BB-gun range, don't take it personally-it's just the "Robot Efficiency" of the era showing its age.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing these modern finishes, you have to fight the urge to be a "blobber." Because these factory coats are applied so thin, a giant drop of touch-up paint will sit on the surface like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. Dab a tiny bit in, let it settle, and repeat. If you're working with one of those high-pigment pearls or metallics like "Kishy Blue" or "Black Obsidian," thin layers are the only way to get the metallic flakes to lay down correctly. Think of yourself as a surgeon, not a deck-stainer; slow and steady wins the race against those rock chips.
