Nissan 810 Touch Up Paint (27 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan really went for it with the 810, recording a massive 27 colors during its run. Whether you're rocking the moody Thunder Black, the high-energy Rallye Red, or the era-defining Pacific Blue Metallic, these cars were designed to stand out in a parking lot. With names like Emerald Mist Metallic and Sable Brown, it's clear Nissan wasn't interested in "50 shades of grey"-they wanted a full spectrum of 1970s and 80s personality.

What to Watch For

To find your match, pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall right behind the engine). You're looking for a small metal ID plate with a three-digit "Color" or "Paint" code. Because the 810 is a classic, keep an eye on the hood and roof for "crow's feet"-those tiny, web-like cracks caused by decades of engine heat and sun. You might also notice the paint getting a bit thin around the door handles or the edges of the trunk. These aren't deal-breakers; they are just spots that require a little extra patience and a steady hand.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you are working with one of the many metallics, like Pacific Blue (which requires a clear coat to shine), your secret weapon is the "shake." Give your touch-up bottle or spray can a solid 60 seconds of rhythmic shaking to make sure those metallic flakes are evenly distributed. When applying, think "thin and light." It is much better to dab on three whisper-thin layers than to drop one thick blob of paint. Let the paint dry until it's no longer tacky between layers, and you'll find that matching that vintage glow is mostly about taking your time.
