Nissan 3000ZX Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Nissan 3000ZX (or the legendary 300ZX as your neighbors might call it) didn't just come in "car colors." Nissan gave us 18 distinct options that oscillated between "Executive Boardroom" and "Midnight Street Racer." We're talking about everything from the crisp Mint White to the menacing Thunder Black. They really leaned into the metallic era, too-with Gold Mist Metallic and Purple Gray Metallic, the factory was clearly feeling bold. Whether you have a solid classic like Regatta Red or one of the sophisticated Two-Tone packages, your car was designed to be noticed.

What to Watch For

Since these cars were born in an era when "Clear Coat" was still a bit of a new science, you might notice the paint on the hood or roof starting to look a little tired or "chalky." Also, keep an eye on the areas around the door handles and the rear hatch; the paint there tends to take a beating from daily use. To find your specific match, don't just guess-check the **radiator support bar** (that metal beam right at the front when you pop the hood) or the **driver's side door jamb**. You're looking for a three-digit code like "505" or "013." If you see a combo like "210/505," congratulations-you've got one of those iconic two-tone beauties.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the many metallics, like Platinum Metallic or Blue Mist Metallic, here is the golden rule: **Shake that bottle like it owes you money.** Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and a 60-second "mega-shake" is what wakes up the sparkle so it actually matches your car. When using a touch-up brush, resist the urge to fill a deep chip in one go. Instead, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and come back for a second layer. It requires patience, but it's the difference between a repair that disappears and a "blob" that stands out.
