Nissan Versa Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan really went for it with the Versa, recording a staggering 37 colors over the years. We aren't just talking about your standard "50 shades of gray" (though Silver Metallic and Gray Metallic are definitely holding down the fort). They've ventured into the wild with Peacock Green Metallic, Choco Glass Metallic, and even the earthy Serengeti Sand Metallic. Whether you're driving a car that looks like a tropical bird or a cup of expensive coffee, the variety is impressive for a car meant to be a budget-friendly commuter.

What to Watch For

Now, the honest truth: Nissan's factory finish on the Versa is known for being a bit "soft." This means if you spend a lot of time on the highway, your hood and roof are essentially rock-chip magnets. Many owners report that if these chips are ignored, the clear coat can start to get a little flaky around the edges, or the hatch area can start to show signs of early wear. To get ahead of it, you need your 3-digit paint code. You'll usually find it on the driver's side door jamb on the VIN sticker-look for the word "COLOR" or "CL." If it's not there, take a peek at the passenger-side firewall under the hood.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Versa colors are Pearls or Metallics (like Visual Pearl Tricoat or Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic), the "secret sauce" is in the shake. Those tiny sparkles settle at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop one big "blob" of paint in, it'll look like a mountain. Instead, apply a thin layer, wait 20 minutes, and add another. Achieving a flush finish requires patience, but it's much better than having a polka-dot car.
