Infiniti F35/F45 Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti didn't play it safe with the F35 and F45. While most luxury SUVs of the era were hiding in various shades of "accountant grey," Infiniti really went for it with a palette of 8 distinct colors. We're talking about head-turners like the glowing Liquid Copper Metallic and the deep, volcanic Beryllium 16 Metallic. Of course, they kept the classics in the mix too, from the ink-dark Black Obsidian to the elegant White Pearl Tri-Coat. It's a lineup that says, "I have a 300-horsepower crossover and I'm not afraid to show it."

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. These Infinitis are famous for having "soft" paint, which is great for a showroom shine but means they tend to collect rock chips on that big, rounded nose like a magnet. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the roof and the top of the tailgate; the clear coat on these models can get a bit tired after years in the sun, leading to some white, flaky spots.

To make sure you're getting the right match, head to the driver's side door jamb. Look for a small plate or sticker; your code is usually three characters (like KH3 for Black or R12 for Copper). If it isn't there, pop the hood and check the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine)-Infiniti liked to hide the ID plate there on earlier models.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using a touch-up pen or brush on those metallic and pearl colors, the "magic" is all in the bottle. Colors like New Silver Metallic or Silverstone Metallic rely on tiny flakes to catch the light. Before you touch the car, shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the sparkles that have settled at the bottom. When applying, think "thin and patient." Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to do two light coats than one big, gloopy mountain of paint that never quite levels out.
