Nissan Titan XD Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Nissan didn't hold back with the Titan XD, giving us a palette of 11 colors that range from the hardworking Silver Metallic to some seriously bold choices. They really went for it with Forged Copper and Beacon Yellow Tricoat-colors that say, "I'm here to tow things and look good doing it." Whether you're rocking the Deep Blue Pearl or the earthy Tobacco Metallic, this truck has a lot of surface area to keep shiny.
What to Watch For
Nissan paint is known for being a bit "soft," meaning it's great at looking deep and rich, but it can be a magnet for rock chips on that massive hood. You'll find your 3-digit paint code on the driver's side door jamb placard-look for the word "COLOR" near the bottom. Keep a close eye on the roof rain gutters and the leading edge of the hood; the clear coat can be a little thin there. If you have the White Pearl Tricoat, be proactive-white paint on these trucks has been known to get a little restless and can start flaking if a chip is left to catch the wind.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with one of the "Pearl" or "Tricoat" colors, the secret is in the shake. Set a timer and shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes to wake up those metallic flakes. When applying, think "thin and patient." Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big heavy drop, use the tip of your brush or even a toothpick to apply a tiny layer. Let it dry for 20 minutes, then add another. These multi-stage colors require patience to get the depth right, but building it up slowly is how you make that repair disappear into the bodywork.
