Locate Paint Code for Nissan

The paint code for Nissan is typically found on the driver side door jamb, on the door pillar or even on the hinge area of the door. If not there, try the firewall – on the center or on the passenger side or on the engine compartment and possibly on the radiator support.

The paint code stickers can be found in different locations, but they all contain three digits. Whether they are letters, numbers or a combination of the two.

On the bottom left corner of the sticker, you will find “Color/Color Trim” and your code will be right underneath.

Nissan Paint Code Examples: K36, RAQ, QAB

The location(s) on the vehicle is shown below by the circle(s) highlighted in yellow and outlined in red.

Order our Touch Up Kits.

To create the best looking results for your vehicle, we include the following materials to help you achieve the best results in fixing your damage.  That’s so that you produce a professional looking job with the right tone and shine as intended for your specific paint code.

To help you, we sell kits that are designed to properly fix dings, scrapes and chips of varying sizes and depth.  So, depending on these parameters, our kits provide you with all the materials you need to repair your damage properly.

We also sell these kit materials individually, to save you money.  Just call us for help in locating what you have in mind.

PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT

Naturally, you need precisely mixed colored paint to do a touch up paint job.  But, you also need other materials.  Specifically, primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.  Also, clearcoat is required to produce a thin protective layer for your paint job once dried.

WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH

Additionally, the wax and grease remover cloths remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.

SANDPAPER

Don’t forget that wet-sanding the affected area prior to painting removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.

POLISHING COMPOUND

And finally, the polishing compound smooths everything out with to factory-grade finish.

Under our Color Match Warrantee program, we make sure that our color mix matches those specified in the manufacturer’s handbooks.  As long as there is no fade, no previous paint jobs on their vehicle’s paint, and the color code is correct, we can warranty our paint.  That means we’ll replace it free.
