Nissan NV2 Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't exactly throw a carnival when they picked the palette for the NV2, sticking to a functional lineup of just 5 colors. It's a professional "fleet-first" selection that includes the workhorse Cloud White, the surprisingly flashy Red Pearl, and the "I'm here to fix your Wi-Fi" Gun Metal Blue Metallic. With only five options, you won't spend all day wondering if your van is "Eggshell" or "Arctic Breeze"-it's a straightforward list for a vehicle that's got jobs to do.

What to Watch For

The NV2 is a road warrior, which means it's constantly fighting a battle against gravel and sun. To find your battle-plan (the paint code), look for the VIN sticker hiding on the driver's side door jamb; it's a 3-digit code usually tucked right under the word "COLOR." Be warned: Nissan's Cloud White is a bit of a local legend for "peeling" or chipping away from the primer if it gets a tiny head start. If you see a small chip on the hood or near the door handles, jump on it quickly before the wind decides to turn that chip into a full-blown crater.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since colors like Red Pearl and Silver Metallic rely on tiny flakes to get that shine, you need to be a human cocktail shaker. Give your touch-up bottle a solid 60-second workout before you open it to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, don't try to draw a line; instead, use the tip of your brush to dab tiny dots into the center of the chip. It requires a little more patience, but building up two or three thin layers is the secret to a repair that looks like a factory finish rather than a DIY disaster.
