Nissan Two Tones Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Nissan really went for it with the Two-Tone options. We have 44 different combinations on record, ranging from high-contrast pairings like Two-Tone /505/006 (a classic black and white vibe) to the more mysterious Two-Tone /817/842. Most of these codes look like a math equation-for example, Two-Tone /663/720-because they're actually two separate paint formulas living on one car. And then there's Delf Blue, the lone wolf of the group that decided it didn't need a partner to look good.
What to Watch For
Before you start, you need to find your "Birth Certificate" (the door sticker). You'll usually find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or B-pillar, but Nissan occasionally likes to hide it on the firewall under the hood. Keep in mind that Nissan paint is known for being a bit "soft," which means it's prone to small chips on the front bumper and hood. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little tired on the roof if your car spends a lot of time sunbathing. Don't worry, though-catching these chips early is exactly how you prevent them from turning into larger peeling spots.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since you're dealing with two-tone combinations, double-check which part of the car you're working on! These paints often feature pearls and metallics that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-I mean it, time yourself-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." It's much better to dab on three whisper-thin layers than one big, gloopy "mountain" of paint. If you're working on a metallic shade, those light layers help the tiny flakes lay down flat so they catch the light just right.
