Infiniti FX35 Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti didn't just play it safe with the FX35; they really went for it. With 18 recorded colors, they moved past the standard highway greys and gave us gems like Beryllium Metallic and Serengeti Sand. Whether you're rocking the deep Black Obsidian or the flashy Orange Metallic, this car was designed to stand out in a parking lot. It's a sophisticated palette that proves you don't have to drive a boring SUV.

What to Watch For

Before you crack open that touch-up bottle, we need to find your "birth certificate"-the paint code. On the FX35, it's a bit of a scavenger hunt. Check the driver's side door jamb (the B-pillar) first. If it's not there, pop the hood and look at the passenger-side firewall or strut tower for a small metal plate.

Regarding the paint itself, keep an eye on the roof and the tops of the doors. These areas are prone to "sunburn"-where the clear coat starts to get a little flaky or dull from UV exposure. You might also notice small chips on the front hood; Infiniti paint can be a bit delicate, so catching those chips early is the best way to keep them from inviting rust to the party.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the popular pearl finishes, like White Pearl Tri-Coat, here is the secret: you have to wake up the sparkles. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom.

When you go to apply the paint, think "thin and patient." If you have a deep chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Dab a tiny amount in, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another layer. Building it up slowly ensures the color stays put and looks smooth once it dries. You've got this!
