Nissan Axxess Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't hold back with the Axxess, treating this "space wagon" to a palette of 10 distinct flavors. While you could play it safe with Silver Frost Metallic or Paris White, they really leaned into the early-90s aesthetic with Burgundy Pearl and some sophisticated 2-tone pairings like Cadet Blue Pearl Metallic. Whether yours is a solid shade or a "team effort" 2-tone, these colors were designed to make this quirky van-wagon hybrid stand out in the grocery store parking lot.

What to Watch For

After a few decades in the sun, the clear coat on an Axxess can start to look a bit like a bad sunburn-peeling and flaking, especially on the hood and roof. You might also notice the paint bubbling slightly around the door handles or the edges of those sliding doors. Before you start, you'll need your secret weapon: the paint code. Don't look in the door jamb first; on the Axxess, you'll usually find the metal ID plate perched on the passenger side firewall inside the engine bay. Look for a three-digit code (like TH3 or AG0) to ensure you're getting the right match for your specific vintage.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Axxess colors are metallics or pearls (looking at you, Winter Blue Metallic), the "magic" is all in the flakes. Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle or can. Shake your touch-up paint for at least 60 seconds-and then shake it for another 30-to wake up those particles. When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip with one big "glob." Use three or four paper-thin layers instead. It requires patience, but it's the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a grape dropped on your hood.
