Nissan Juke Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Nissan Juke is the car that refused to blend in, and its color palette followed suit. With 20 colors recorded, Nissan really went for it, offering everything from the bold Yellow Pearl and Scarlet Red to the more mysterious Nightshade Pearl. Whether your Juke is rocking a classic Chrome Silver Metallic or a deep Black Sapphire, these colors were designed to highlight the car's unique, "love-it-or-hate-it" curves.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "recipe." Open your driver's side door and look at the black sticker on the door pillar (the B-pillar). Near the bottom, you'll see a three-character code next to the word "COLOR"-that's your golden ticket (something like QAB or NAH). Now, for the reality check: the Juke has a very "vertical" front end, which makes it a bit of a rock magnet. You'll likely find most of your battle scars on the leading edge of the hood. The factory clear coat can also be a little sensitive to environmental "gifts" like bird droppings, so if you see a dull spot, it's best to address it before the sun bakes it into the finish.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Juke colors-like Glacier Pearl Tri-Coat or Blue Metallic-rely on heavy metallic flakes or pearls to get that signature shimmer, your biggest job is the "The Sixty-Second Shake." Those tiny sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full minute to wake them up. When you apply the paint, think of yourself as a surgeon, not a house painter. Use a tiny amount and "build" the color in two light passes rather than one big, gloopy drop. This keeps the metallics sitting flat and ensures your Yellow Pearl doesn't end up looking like a different shade than the rest of the fender.
