Infiniti Q60 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Infiniti didn't just give the Q60 a paint job; they gave it a wardrobe. We've recorded 26 different colors for this sleek coupe, ranging from the deep, brooding Black Obsidian to the "look at me" brilliance of Dynamic Sunstone Red Tricoat. They really went for it with the names, too-why call it blue when you can call it Kishy Blue Metallic? Whether yours is Solar Metallic or the elusive Visual Pearl Tricoat, your car was designed to catch the light and the occasional envious stare at a red light.
What to Watch For
The Q60 has a face that's a magnet for attention-and, unfortunately, road gravel. Because this car sits low to the ground, front-end rock chips on the hood and bumper are the most common "battle scars" you'll encounter. You should also know that Infiniti paint is famously "soft." It looks stunning, but it can be sensitive to environmental wear. Before you start, find your three-character paint code; it's hiding on the manufacturer's sticker inside the driver's side door jamb under the "COLOR" heading.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Q60 colors are "Pearls" or "Tricoats," the magic is in the metallic flakes. Before you touch that chip, shake your paint bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles so they don't all settle at the bottom. When applying, remember that these complex colors require patience. Instead of one big glob to fill a hole, use the tip of your brush to apply two or three paper-thin layers, letting each one dry in between. It's like building a tiny piece of art; slow and steady wins the "invisible repair" race.
