Infiniti QX55 Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Infiniti gave the QX55 a palette of 10 distinct looks, and they definitely leaned into the "classy with a side of flash" vibe. You've got the stealthy Black Obsidian and Slate Gray Metallic for those who want to fly under the radar, but then they threw in Dynamic Sunstone Red Tricoat for the folks who want their crossover to be seen from space. Whether you're driving a "50 shades of grey" variant or a high-intensity pearl, your car has some serious depth-literally, in the case of those multi-stage paints.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth: Infiniti uses a relatively soft clear coat. It's what gives the car that "wet" showroom glow, but it also means the front hood and bumper are absolute magnets for rock chips. If you look closely at your nose, you'll probably see a few "flea bites" from highway driving. To make sure you've got the right match, head to the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a three-character code (like KH3 for Black or QAB for White) on the manufacturing sticker. It's usually located near the bottom of that label, tucked away from the barcodes.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many QX55 colors-like Radiant White Tricoat or Dynamic Sunstone Red-are Tricoats, they require a little more "zen" than a standard silver. These paints have tiny mica and pearl flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake those sparkles up. When applying, think "thin and patient." It's much better to apply three paper-thin layers than one big, gloppy "mountain" of paint. If it doesn't look perfect on the first pass, don't worry; getting that pearl to sit right just requires a little bit of patience.
