2020 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Infiniti Vibe

Ah, 2020. While the rest of the world was staying home, the Q50 and QX80 were still out there trying to look like a million bucks. Infiniti didn't hold back on the palette either-we've got 19 different colors in the books for this year. They leaned hard into the luxury "greyscale" trend with Anthracite Gray Metallic and Black Obsidian, but then they'd hit you with something fancy like Dynamic Sunstone Red Tricoat or Mocha Almond just to prove they still had a soul. It was an era of big grilles and even bigger pearls, designed to shimmer under a dealership LED before the first rock chip ruined the mood.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. Back in my day, you could practically lean a ladder against a fender without worrying, but these 2020 factory finishes are the product of "Robot Efficiency." Those machines are so precise they can lay down a coat thin enough to see through if they wanted to. The result? Your Q60 or QX60 looks like a mirror on day one, but that clear coat is soft and stingy. It doesn't take much more than a stiff breeze or a highway pebble to punch a hole straight through to the primer. If you're seeing "road rash" on the hood or swirling in the Imperial Black, don't be surprised-it's just the reality of modern, high-speed factory enamel.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip on these modern beauties, leave the "one-and-done" attitude at the door. Because this paint is applied so thin at the factory, a big glob of touch-up will stick out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you're working with one of those tricky Tricoats like White Pearl or Visual Pearl, patience is your only friend. Dab a tiny bit, let it level out, and repeat until you've built up the depth to match the surrounding clear coat. It takes longer, but it's the only way to make that repair disappear into the finish.
