Nissan NV200 Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan recorded 10 colors for the NV200, which is surprisingly expressive for a vehicle that usually spends its life delivering packages or hauling ladders. While most of these "offices on wheels" are finished in the ubiquitous Cloud White, Nissan actually offered some personality with shades like the deep Gun Metal Blue Metallic and the punchy Scarlet Red. Whether you're driving the classic Silver Metallic or the slightly more upscale White Pearl Tricoat, you've got a professional-grade canvas that deserves a little TLC.

What to Watch For

The NV200 is a workhorse, but its "nose"-that flat front end-is essentially a billboard for every piece of gravel on the highway. Because the factory paint and primer can be a bit on the thin side (a common gripe for Nissan owners), those small chips can quickly turn into larger peeling spots if left alone. You'll want to check the leading edge of the hood and the roofline above the windshield for any flaking. To find your specific color match, look for the ID plate on the passenger side B-pillar (the vertical bar between the front and rear doors); it's usually near the bottom and lists a three-digit code like "QM1" or "K23."

Driveway Repair Tip

If you are working with Gun Metal Blue Metallic or Red Pearl, you need to be a human paint-mixer. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sink to the bottom of the chip. When applying, avoid the temptation to fill the entire crater with one big "blob." Instead, use the tip of your brush to place a tiny dot of paint in the center and let it flow out to the edges. Two thin layers will always look better and stay attached longer than one thick, gooey mess.
