Nissan Van-Wagon Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan only gave the Van-Wagon 8 colors during its short, legendary run, and they really went for that "80s future-tech" aesthetic. From the crisp Mint White to the moody Dark Gray Metallic, the palette was surprisingly sophisticated for a van that lived mostly in grocery store parking lots. If you're rocking one of the Two-Tone variants like the /329/006 combo, you've got one of the most stylish boxes on wheels ever designed.

What to Watch For

To find your color code, head to the passenger side. You'll usually find the identification plate on the passenger-side seat riser (you might have to tilt the seat back) or occasionally on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Because this is a mid-engine "doghouse" design, the interior paint near the engine can get a bit brittle from the heat. On the outside, 80s Nissan clear coats were a bit "relaxed"-they tend to thin out or cloud up on the roof and hood after decades in the sun. If you see white "chalky" spots, that's just the paint asking for a little bit of help.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these colors are metallic (like that Medium Blue Metallic), those tiny silver flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least two full minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Dabs should be thin and barely cover the spot; give it 20 minutes to dry, then come back for a second pass. Patience is your best friend here, and it's the difference between a repair that disappears and a blob that stands out.
