Infiniti QX4 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Infiniti didn't hold back with the QX4, recording a massive 29 colors over its lifespan. They clearly leaned into a "high-end botanical garden" aesthetic, giving us gems like Antique Pine Pearl, Ancient Bronze Pearl, and the impressively honest Yellowish Green Metallic. Whether you're rocking Black Obsidian or the regal Tuscan Beige, they really went for it with the earth tones. They also loved a good two-tone look-if your SUV has those contrasting fender flares, you're likely sporting a combo like /WK0/CR0.
What to Watch For
To find your color identity, head to the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a small plate or sticker with a three-character code (like KH3 for Black). If you see two codes separated by a slash, you've got a two-tone model-just make sure you're buying the paint for the part of the car you're actually fixing! On a car this age, keep an eye on the roof and hood; the clear coat can get a little tired from sun exposure and start to flake. You might also see some "shyness" around the door handles or the lower plastic cladding where the paint likes to lose its grip over time.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because so many QX4 shades are "Pearls" or "Metallics," those tiny sparkles tend to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Before you start, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes. You want to hear that mixing ball rattling like a spray-can maraca the entire time. When you apply it, don't try to "paint" a line; instead, use the very tip of the brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It requires a little patience, but it's the best way to keep that "Ancient Bronze" looking more like a treasure and less like a DIY project.
