Infiniti M45 Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti gave the M45 a wardrobe of 19 different colors, mostly leaning into that "executive lounge on wheels" aesthetic. They basically explored fifty shades of grey with options like Silverstone Metallic, Umbria Grey, and Desert Platinum, but they weren't afraid to get flashy when the mood struck. If you're rocking Crimson Roulette Pearl or Emerald Mist Metallic, you know they really went for it. Whether yours is a subtle metallic or a deep pearl, these colors were designed to catch the light-and your neighbor's attention.

What to Watch For

The "But" here is that Infiniti paint from this era is famously "soft." While that gives it a beautiful, deep glow, it also means your M45 probably has a few battle scars on that long, expansive hood from highway debris. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little thin or "cloudy" on the roof or trunk if it's been parked outside. To find your exact match, skip the guesswork: your paint code is usually printed on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb or tucked away on the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Look for a three-character code like KH3 or K23.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many M45 colors are heavy on the metallics and pearls-like that gorgeous White Pearl Tri-Coat-your secret weapon is a timer. Those tiny sparkles are heavy and love to nap at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a solid 60 seconds (longer than you think!) to wake up the flakes. When you go to apply it, don't try to "paint" the scratch. Instead, use the tip of the applicator to "dot" the paint into the chip in thin layers. It requires patience, especially with the pearls, but building it up slowly is how you keep that "factory-fresh" look without the factory price tag.
