Nissan Rogue Sport Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Nissan didn't just stick to the basics with the Rogue Sport; they gave us 9 colors to play with. While you'll see plenty of the "classic" crowd like Silver Metallic and Gray Metallic (the "50 shades of gray" of the suburbs), they really went for it with the more adventurous options. If you're rocking the Orange Pearl or the Cayenne Red Metallic Tri-Coat, you've got a car with some serious personality.
What to Watch For
Here is the honest truth: Nissan paint is a bit like a thin-crust pizza-it's stylish, but it doesn't take much to leave a mark. Most Rogue Sport owners find that the paint on the hood and around the door handles is a magnet for tiny rock chips. It's a bit soft, which means it's prone to "peppering" from highway debris. To find your specific color match, open your driver's door and look for the VIN sticker on the door jamb. Your paint code is a three-character sequence (like KAD or QAB) usually located right at the bottom of that label.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because many of these colors-especially the White Pearl Tricoat-rely on heavy metallic and pearl flakes to get that shine, your touch-up bottle is essentially a tiny snow globe. Shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those sparkles. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill the chip in one giant "blob." Instead, use the tip of your applicator to add a tiny drop, let it dry, and then add another. If you're working with a Tri-Coat, it requires patience, but building up those thin layers is the secret to making that repair look like it came straight from the factory.
