Infiniti M30 Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Back in the early '90s, Infiniti was the new kid on the block, and they arrived with a palette that felt like a high-end jazz lounge. With 15 recorded colors for the M30, they really leaned into the "sophisticated luxury" vibe. You've got classics like Black Obsidian and Silver Metallic, but they also threw in some real character with Burgundy Berry Pearl and Dark Green Pearl. They even offered several "matt" (matte) finishes like Blue Metallic and Gray Metallic-which was quite a bold move for the era-typically reserved for that distinctive lower-body cladding that gave the M30 its iconic two-tone look.

What to Watch For

The M30 is a certified classic now, but 30-plus years in the sun means the paint has seen some things. These cars are known for "sunburn"-that white, flaky peeling where the clear coat starts to lift off the hood and trunk. If your paint looks splotchy, don't panic; it's just the protective layer giving up the ghost. To find your exact match, skip the guesswork and head to the engine bay. Look for a metal ID plate fastened to the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). If it's not there, check the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a three-digit code like "KH3" or "AH2." If you have a two-tone car, you might see two codes separated by a slash-one for the top, one for the bottom.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you are working with one of the pearl finishes, like White Quartz Tri-Coat Pearl, remember that these are "depth" colors. Before you even touch the car, shake that touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. You need to wake up those tiny mica flakes that have been sitting at the bottom of the bottle. When applying, think "thin is in." Use the very tip of your brush to dab the paint into the chip rather than painting a long stroke. If you're touching up the matte trim on the lower bumpers, less is more-avoid over-applying, as you want to keep that smooth, low-sheen look without creating a thick "scab" of paint. It requires patience, but your M30 will thank you for the makeover.
