Infiniti Q70 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Infiniti clearly wanted the Q70 to look like it belonged in a high-stakes boardroom, offering 12 shades that define "executive chic." From the bottomless Black Obsidian to the moody Twilight Blue Pearl and the sophisticated Grayish Blue Metallic, the palette is a masterclass in subtlety. If you feel like you're looking at several versions of the same silver, you aren't crazy-they basically leaned into "50 shades of grey" to ensure every metallic flake caught the light just right.
What to Watch For
Here is the honest truth from the driveway: Infiniti paint is famously "soft." While this gives the car that signature deep, mirror-like glow, it also means your Q70 is a bit of a magnet for stone chips, especially along the leading edge of the hood and those flared wheel arches. You might also notice the paint feels a little more sensitive to bird droppings or tree sap than a standard truck. To get started on your repair, you'll find your "secret weapon" (the paint code) on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Look for a three-digit code like KH3 or QAB near the bottom of the VIN plate.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Q70 colors-especially the White Pearl Tricoat-rely on heavy doses of metallic and mica, your first job is to shake that touch-up bottle like you're winning a marathon. Give it a full two minutes to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Instead of trying to fill a deep chip with one big glob, dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's a pearl color, it requires patience: let the first layer dry completely before adding a second to build up that factory depth. You aren't just dabbing paint; you're restoring that "just off the lot" elegance one tiny dot at a time.
