Infiniti M35 Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti certainly didn't hold back, recording a total of 17 colors for the M35. They really went for it with the names, too-you've got everything from the sleek Black Obsidian to the adventurous Serengeti Sand Metallic and the "feeling lucky" Crimson Roulette Pearl. If you're looking at a sea of silver and grey options like Silverstone Metallic and Umbria Grey, don't worry; you aren't seeing double. Infiniti just really liked their "50 shades of executive professional."

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth from the driveway: the M35's factory clear coat is famously "soft." This means your front bumper probably looks like it's been through a gravel storm, and you might notice some early fading or peeling on the roof and trunk where the sun hits hardest. Before you start, you need your 3-character code (a mix of letters and numbers like KH3 or K23). You'll find it on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Just look for the "COLOR" or "PAINT" heading-it's usually tucked near the bottom of the tag.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors-especially White Pearl Tri-Coat-are packed with depth, your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe of tiny sparkles. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up the pearls and metallics; otherwise, the color won't look right when it dries. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of your brush to dab thin, light layers into the chip. If you try to fill a deep crater with one big "blob," it'll look like a bead of sweat on the car. Layering requires patience, but it's the secret to making that Lakeshore Blue look factory-fresh again.
