Infiniti EX35 Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti didn't play it safe with the EX35. While they offered the standard "50 shades of gray" like Silver Metallic and Dark Gray Pearl, they also leaned into some wonderfully adventurous territory. We're talking 14 recorded colors, including gems like Brownish Purple Pearl and Grayish Green Pearl. Clearly, the design team was feeling bold. Whether your car is a stealthy Black Obsidian or a shimmering White Pearl Tricoat, you're dealing with a finish that was designed to stand out, even a decade later.

What to Watch For

The EX35 was a pioneer for Infiniti's "Scratch Shield" technology-a special elastic resin clear coat designed to "self-heal" fine swirl marks using heat from the sun. It's a cool trick, but it means the paint is slightly "softer" and more flexible than what you'd find on a standard SUV. Over time, this elasticity can struggle against heavy UV exposure, leading to some peeling near the roofline or door handles.

Before you start, you need your DNA-the paint code. You'll find this on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb (look for a three-digit code like "KH3" or "QAA"). If it isn't there, pop the hood and check the firewall (the metal wall between the engine and the cabin); Infiniti likes to hide a metal plate there too.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many EX35 colors are pearls or "Tricoats," the metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like stubborn glitter. Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 full seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles.

When applying, do not try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a giant blob of paint into a chip, it'll dry with a "volcano" look that catches the light. Instead, use the tip of the brush to dab in a thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. If you have a pearl color, these thin layers are the secret to getting that depth and shimmer to match the rest of the car. Patience is your best tool here!
