Nissan Figaro Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just give us a car with the Figaro; they gave us a whole mood. While most people know the "Four Seasons" classics like Emerald Green and Pale Aqua, the records show a whopping 15 colors, ranging from the punchy Aztec Red to the sophisticated Burgundy Pearl. They really went for it with the gemstone-inspired palette-it's less of a parking lot and more of a jewelry box.

What to Watch For

These beauties are over 30 years old now, and their "skin" is starting to show it. The paint on a Figaro is notoriously thin, and because of how the body panels meet, moisture loves to hide in the worst places. Keep a sharp eye on the wheel arches and the areas around those chrome door handles-if you see tiny bubbles, that's your car asking for a little TLC before things get spicy. To find your specific shade, pop the hood and look at the bulkhead (the metal wall behind the engine). You'll find a silver VIN plate there with a three-digit code. Just a heads-up: if your car is two-tone, that code might describe the "combo," so make sure you're grabbing the specific bottle for the body color!

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors-like Midnight Blue Pearl or Satin White Pearl-rely on tiny metallic flakes for that retro glow, your biggest secret weapon is a good workout. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer, I'm serious!) to wake up the pearls that have settled at the bottom. When you're ready to apply, don't try to "paint" a line. Instead, use the tip of the brush or a toothpick to dot the paint into the center of the chip. Let it flow out to the edges on its own. It requires a bit of patience, but it prevents that "globby" look that screams "I did this in my driveway."
