Yes. Nissan sells official touch-up paint in color-matched pens and bottles through its dealers and the Nissan Parts & Accessories online store, enabling owners to fix chips and scratches with genuine materials.
Official touch-up paint options
Below are the formats Nissan offers for genuine touch-up paint and how they help you address light vehicle blemishes.
- Nissan Genuine Touch-Up Paint Pens: color-matched to your exterior color code, designed for precise application to small chips and scratches.
- Nissan Genuine Touch-Up Paint Bottles: color-matched paint in a liquid form for slightly larger chips or patches, typically used with an applicator brush.
These official options use Nissan’s color-matched formulas and are intended to preserve a consistent finish with the original paint.
How to find and confirm your color code
To order the correct shade, you’ll need the exterior color code (and sometimes the VIN). Here’s how to locate and use that information.
- Check the driver’s door jamb sticker or VIN plate for a color code, usually a short alphanumeric string.
- Use the color code along with your vehicle’s year and model when ordering from Nissan Parts & Accessories or your dealership.
Having the right color code ensures the touch-up paint matches your Nissan’s finish as closely as possible.
Where to buy official Nissan touch-up paint
Customers can purchase genuine Nissan touch-up paint through official channels, with dealer support and online ordering available for convenience.
- Nissan dealerships: order in person or have the dealer order the kit on your behalf; staff can help verify the correct shade and provide guidance on application.
- Nissan Parts & Accessories online store: order color-matched touch-up paint directly from Nissan for delivery or pickup where available.
- Authorized Nissan parts retailers: some regions offer Nissan Genuine touch-up paint kits online or in-store depending on stock.
Prices and availability vary by color and region, and some colors may be back-ordered if not in stock.
Application tips you should know
Read and follow the included instructions. Prep the area by cleaning it, apply thin coats, and allow adequate drying time between layers. Start with a small test on an inconspicuous area to ensure color match before applying to visible spots. If the kit includes a clear topcoat, apply it as directed for added durability.
Alternative options if official paint isn’t accessible
If you can’t obtain an official Nissan touch-up kit locally, third-party automotive paint suppliers can provide color-matched options using your color code. Be aware that match quality and warranty terms may vary, so verify compatibility with your vehicle’s color and finish.
- Color-matched touch-up paints from reputable automotive paint suppliers, using your color code and model/year for accuracy.
- Professional body shops that source exact color-matched paint and offer application services.
Regardless of the source, careful preparation and testing are key to achieving a seamless repair with minimal visibility.
Summary
Nissan continues to offer genuine touch-up paint in color-matched pens and bottles through official channels such as dealerships and the Nissan Parts & Accessories online store. The key to success is identifying the correct exterior color code and applying the product according to the provided instructions or seeking dealer guidance if you’re unsure.
