Nissan X-Trail Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Nissan didn't just give the X-Trail a color palette; they gave it a personality for every terrain. With 18 recorded colors, we've seen everything from the adventurous Midnight Jade and Beige Metallic to the surprisingly flashy Red Pearl Tricoat. Whether yours is dressed in "50 shades of Gray Metallic" or a rugged Light Brown Metallic, this SUV was built to look good while getting a little muddy.

What to Watch For

Here's the honest truth: Nissan's clear coat on the X-Trail can be a little "shy." It's known for being on the softer side, which means those stray shopping carts or low-hanging branches leave marks more easily than we'd like. You'll likely notice most of your battle scars as stone chips on the hood or light scuffs around the door handles. Before you start, you'll need your "ID card"-also known as the paint code. While most cars hide this in the door jamb, the X-Trail often keeps it on a metal plate bolted to the firewall (the wall behind the engine). Look for a three-character code like "K51" or "QX1."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many X-Trail colors are pearls or metallics (looking at you, Glacier Pearl), the "secret sauce" is in the shake. Those tiny sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired-to ensure the color stays consistent. When applying, remember that this paint prefers "thin and many" over "thick and heavy." Use a tiny dab, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another if needed. It requires a bit of patience, but it's the best way to keep that factory finish looking sharp without the professional price tag.
