Nissan Frontier Touch Up Paint (65 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just make a truck; they made a rolling canvas. With 65 recorded colors, the Frontier has seen everything from the adventure-ready Tactical Green Metallic and Forged Copper to the "I-mean-business" Solar Yellow and Salsa Metallic. Whether you're driving a modern Boulder Gray Metallic or an old-school Aztec Red, it's clear the designers at Nissan really went for it. They didn't just stick to the "50 shades of grey" most trucks live in-they gave us actual personality.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing paint in the driveway, you need the secret handshake: your paint code. Open your driver's door and look at the jamb or the edge of the door for the VIN sticker. At the bottom, you'll see a three-digit code (like KAD or QM1) labeled "COLOR." Find that, and you're halfway home.

Now, a quick reality check: Nissan paint is known for being a bit "delicate." If you have a white Frontier, keep an extra close eye on the hood and roof; the paint there sometimes decides it wants to retire early and can start to flake. You might also notice chips on the front bumper-modern Nissan clear coats are a little on the soft side, meaning they take a hit from road gravel like a champ but show the scars to prove it.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because many Frontier colors like Glacier Pearl or Baja Glass Pearl are packed with metallic flakes and "sparkles," your biggest hurdle isn't the color-it's the gravity. Those tiny sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the touch-up bottle. Give that bottle a vigorous shake for a full two minutes (play a song and shake to the beat) to wake them up.

When you apply it, think "thin and patient." If you have a chip that looks deep, don't try to fill it with one giant, heavy blob. Put down a tiny drop, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. Building it up in layers keeps the paint from shrinking as it dries and ensures your Tactical Green doesn't end up looking like a tactical bump.
