1992 Nissan Touch Up Paint (39 OEM Colors)

The 1992 Nissan Vibe

Welcome to 1992-the year Nissan was flexing its engineering muscles and leaving everyone else in the rearview. We're talking about the glory days of the 300ZX and the 240SX, cars that looked like they were sculpted from solid blocks of adrenaline. Whether you were hauling the family in a Maxima or bouncing over curbs in a Pathfinder, the look was sharp, clean, and unmistakably 90s. While our vault focuses on the legendary survivors-the heavy hitters like Aztec Red, Super White, and Black-these shades were the uniform of a decade that prioritized performance. If you're looking at a '92 today, you're either holding onto a piece of history or trying to save one from the elements.

Paint Health Check

If you're driving a 1992 Nissan, you're living in "The Peeling Era." This was the dawn of the mass-market clear coat, and let's just say the chemistry hadn't quite caught up to the California sun yet. We call it "Delamination"-that heartbreaking moment when the clear coat starts looking like a bad sunburn, flaking off in white sheets and leaving the base color underneath exposed and vulnerable. If your 240SX has those ugly white crusty edges on the roof or trunk, that's the clear coat giving up the ghost. Once it starts lifting, moisture and air get trapped underneath, and it's a fast track to total paint failure.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a '92 on the road is intervention. You have to seal chips immediately before the clear coat gets a chance to lift. If you see a small nick from a highway stone, don't wait for the weekend-that chip is a "perforation" that lets the elements start peeling your clear like a orange. When you're touching up, focus on feathering the edges of any damaged clear coat with a fine-grit abrasive before applying your color and sealer. This stops the delamination in its tracks and keeps the rest of that factory finish bonded to the metal where it belongs.
