Nissan 200SX Touch Up Paint (61 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan really went for it with the 200SX, offering a massive catalog of 62 colors over its lifespan. Whether you're rocking the vibrant Aztec Red, the deep Pacific Blue, or the classic Cloud White, your car was designed to stand out. This wasn't just a list of "safe" neutrals; they experimented with everything from Magenta Metallic to Yellow-Green Pearl. It's a testament to an era when sport-compacts were allowed to have a personality.

What to Watch For

While the 200SX is a blast to drive, the factory clear coat hasn't always aged gracefully. You might notice what we call the "Nissan Sunburn"-where the clear coat starts to peel or flake away, especially on the hood and roof. If you have one of the red shades, like Rallye Red, keep an eye out for "pinking," where the UV rays have started to bleach the pigment. To find your specific color match, look for a three-digit code (like KH3 for Black) located on a metal plate on the firewall (the wall behind the engine) or inside the driver's side door jamb.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many 200SX colors are metallics or pearls-like Diamond Mist or Bluish Green Pearl-the "secret sauce" is in the shake. Before you touch that chip, shake your paint bottle or pen for at least 60 to 90 seconds. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you need them floating evenly to get a match. When applying, think "thin and patient." It's much better to dab on three paper-thin layers than one big, gloopy bead that looks like a literal band-aid. If the color looks a shade off at first, don't panic; most of these shades require patience and a full 24 hours to dry before they show their true character.
