Nissan Pathfiner Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan offered us 11 distinct personalities for the Pathfinder, ranging from the rugged Thunder Black and Dark Gray Metallic to the surprisingly flashy Flare Red Pearl Metallic. They really went for it with the aesthetics, giving us those classic Two-Tone options that defined the "ready-for-anything" SUV era. Whether you're rocking the crisp Mint White or the deep Burgundy Pearl, your Pathfinder was designed to look just as good at the grocery store as it does covered in trail dust.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth: Nissan paint from this era can be a little sensitive. It's common to see "sunburn" (fading) on the hood or actual peeling along the roof gutters and the pillars framing the windshield. Before you get to work, you need to find your 3-digit paint code. Most of the time, it's living on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb. If it's not there, pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) or near the radiator support. If you have one of those cool two-tone setups, make sure you're matching the specific code for the area you're fixing!

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Crystal Blue Pearl and Silver Frost Metallic-are packed with tiny metallic flakes, they require patience to get right. Those sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes before you open it. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Drip a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it spread out. Using multiple thin layers is the secret to a repair that looks like a professional did it, even if you're just standing in your driveway in your flip-flops.
