2022 Infiniti Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

### The 2022 Infiniti Vibe

Welcome to 2022, the year Infiniti decided to lean hard into the "modern luxury" aesthetic. We're talking about the debut of the redesigned QX60 and that sleek QX55 fastback that looked like it was moving even when it was parked at a stoplight. Our database shows a staggering 26 colors for this year-a "painter's buffet" that proved Infiniti wasn't ready to let go of the rainbow just yet. While half the world was busy buying every shade of gray imaginable (looking at you, Anthracite Gray Metallic and Slate Gray Metallic), Infiniti was still throwing punches with "loud" choices like Dynamic Sunstone Red Tricoat and Electric Blue Metallic. It was a year of high variety and even higher expectations.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2022, the robots in the factory had become masters of "efficiency." In the old days, we sprayed enough lacquer to drown a cat; now, these machines apply clear coat so thin it's practically a suggestion. The finish looks like glass on the showroom floor, but out in the real world, it's vulnerable. If you're driving a Black Obsidian (KH3) Q50, you already know that just looking at it the wrong way causes swirl marks. Because the factory enamel is applied with such surgical precision, it lacks the "meat" to absorb impacts. A pebble on the highway doesn't just chip the paint; it tends to cause "micro-shattering" or delamination around the strike point, especially on those fancy tri-coats like White Pearl or Maroon Tricoat.

Restoration Tip

Since 2022 paint is applied in razor-thin layers, your repair strategy has to match that "robotic" finesse. **Whatever you do, don't blob it.** If you try to fill a chip in one heavy pass, the solvent will trapped, the paint will shrink, and you'll end up with a crater that looks worse than the original chip. Instead, use the "Patient Painter" method: Apply your color in 2-3 paper-thin layers, allowing each to flash off until it's tacky. This mimics the factory's multi-stage depth without the bulk. For those high-maintenance tri-coats like Visual Pearl, remember that the "sparkle" lives in the mid-coat-so keep your base thin enough to let the magic show through.
