Nissan 720 Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Nissan 720 pickup didn't just haul hay; it hauled 80s style. Nissan recorded a whopping 24 colors for this legend, ranging from the adventurous Sunrise Orange and Desert Yellow to the more sophisticated Maroon Mist Metallic. Back then, they really went for it-if you own one of these, you aren't just driving a truck; you're driving a period-correct piece of art. Whether you're sporting Pacific Blue or Mesa Tan, your truck has a personality that modern "refrigerator white" pickups simply can't match.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your "DNA" (the paint code). On these 720s, you'll usually find a stamped metal plate on the engine firewall or tucked inside the driver's side door jamb. Keep an eye out for a three-digit alphanumeric code. Now, a reality check: because these trucks were built during the dawn of modern paint tech, the flat surfaces like the hood and roof are prone to "chalking"-where the paint turns dull and dusty from sun exposure. You might also see some peeling if you're rocking Alpine White, as those early white formulas sometimes like to part ways with the primer. Don't worry, though; it's nothing a little patience can't fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these 720 shades are "Mist Metallics," those tiny sparkles have likely been sitting at the bottom of your touch-up bottle since it left the factory. Give that bottle or spray can a vigorous shake for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the metallic flake. When applying, remember that "less is more." Use the tip of your brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're using a spray can for a larger spot, thin, misty layers are your best friend. It might require a bit of patience to get the depth right, but your 720 will thank you for not giving it a "globby" facelift.
