Nissan Micra Touch Up Paint (34 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan really leaned into the personality of this little hatchback, recording a whopping 34 colors over the years. They gave us everything from the sophisticated Black Sapphire Metallic to the "look at me!" vibes of Sonoma Sunset Pearl and Turquoise Pearl Metallic. Whether yours is dressed in the classic Cloud White or the moody Nightshade Pearl, Nissan made sure the Micra never felt like just another "commuter box." They really went for it, offering enough shades of grey and silver to make a rainy day feel stylish.

What to Watch For

Now, the honest truth: Micra paint is a bit like a polite houseguest-it doesn't like to cause a scene, but it can be a little thin-skinned. You might notice the clear coat starting to flake off on the roof or hood, almost like the car has a mild sunburn. Because the factory finish is on the "soft" side, front-end stone chips are basically a rite of passage for Micra owners. To find your exact match, don't guess! Open your passenger door and look for a sticker on the center pillar (the B-pillar). You're looking for a three-digit code like KH3 or QM1. If it's an older model, pop the hood and look for a metal plate bolted to the firewall near the back of the engine.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Micra colors-like Glacier Pearl Tri-Coat or Daytona Blue-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, they require a little "wake-up call." Those sparkly bits like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes (play a song, it helps!) to ensure the color is even. When you apply it, resist the urge to glob it on. Use the "polka-dot" method: just dab a tiny bit into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. If the chip is deep, do two thin layers rather than one thick one. It requires some patience, but your Micra will thank you for not giving it a "bumpy" scar.
