Nissan NV Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just settle for "Work Van White" with the NV series; they actually rolled out 19 different colors over the years. We've got everything from the classic Cloud White and Silver Metallic to some surprisingly bold choices like Scarlet Red and the legendary Tobacco Metallic-which honestly sounds like the interior of a very expensive cigar lounge. Whether you're driving a Midnight Blue Metallic mobile office or a Yellow delivery machine, Nissan really went for it with the variety.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Birth Certificate" (the paint code). For the Nissan NV, it's usually hiding on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb or the center pillar. Look for a three-digit code-like QM1 or K23-near the bottom of the VIN plate. Now, for the honest truth: Nissan's white shades (especially Cloud White) have a bit of a reputation for being "shy"-meaning the paint can sometimes chip or peel away from the primer on the hood or roof edges. If you see a small chip, fix it now before it decides to invite its friends and become a larger bald spot.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up brush or pen, remember that the NV is a big vehicle with a lot of vertical surface area. Gravity is not always your friend. If you're filling a chip on the side of the van, use the "less is more" rule. Instead of trying to fill the whole crater with one big glob of paint, apply two or three very thin layers. If you're working with a metallic like Gun Metal Blue or Silver, these colors require patience-shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds to make sure the metallic flakes are swimming around evenly before you dab. It's better to have a slightly shallow repair than a giant, sagging teardrop of paint running down your door.
