Nissan Skyline Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just build a car with the Skyline; they built a legend, and they dressed it in 18 distinct colors to match that ego. From the iconic, head-turning Bayside Blue Tricoat to the deep, fiery Inferno Red Pearl and the surprisingly earthy Charcoal Green Metallic, they really went for it. Whether you're rocking a classic Cloud White or the futuristic Radium Metallic, your Skyline was designed to stand out, even if some of the more "vintage" choices like Beige Metallic suggest Nissan had a brief obsession with the 1980s office aesthetic.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing paint, you need to find your "birth certificate." Pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). You'll see a small ID plate-often blue-with a three-digit code like TV2 or KH3. That's your golden ticket. Now, for the reality check: Nissan paint from this era is known for being a bit "soft" and thin. This means the hood and roof are prime targets for UV fading, and stone chips can happen if you so much as look at a gravel road. If you have one of the red shades, keep an eye out for "the pink shift"-red pigment loves to lose its punch in the sun, but a fresh touch-up can bring that heart-rate-monitor energy back.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Skyline colors are pearls or heavy metallics, your biggest enemy isn't the scratch-it's gravity. All those beautiful sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up the metallic flakes. When you apply it, think of it like nail polish: use thin, light layers rather than one big, thick blob. If you're working on a pearl finish, it requires patience; let each layer dry completely before adding the next. This keeps the "depth" of the paint looking right so your repair looks like part of the car, not a sticker you forgot to peel off.
