Magnetic Black Metallic is a Nissan exterior paint option that is available on some models in certain markets. It denotes a deep black finish with metallic flecks that can add a subtle sparkle in light. Availability varies by model year, trim level, and region.
What is Magnetic Black Metallic?
Magnetic Black Metallic (also referred to as Magnetic Black or Magnetic Black Metallic finish in some markets) is a dark, metallic black paint. The metallic component adds tiny reflective flakes to the clearcoat, giving the color depth and a slight shimmer rather than a flat black appearance. Names and exact formulations can differ by country and model year.
Finish characteristics
As a metallic black, Magnetic Black Metallic tends to show a bit more texture under bright light than a solid black. It can hide minor imperfections better than a flat paint and requires routine care to preserve the metallic effect, such as regular washing and waxing to protect the clearcoat.
Availability and how to verify
Availability is not universal across all Nissan models or regions. Some markets may offer Magnetic Black Metallic as a color option on certain trims, while others may have different black metallic choices. To confirm for your vehicle, use official Nissan resources and your local dealership.
How to confirm for your vehicle
If you want to verify whether Magnetic Black Metallic is offered for your specific model and year, you can check the following:
- Visit Nissan’s official website and select your model and year to view the color options offered for that configuration.
- Use the Build & Price or configurator tool to see if Magnetic Black Metallic is listed for your trim.
- Contact a local Nissan dealer or official service center to confirm availability in your market and for your vehicle.
- Check the color code or badge inside the driver’s door jamb or on the vehicle’s information sticker to identify the exact paint used; this helps determine if Magnetic Black Metallic is installed or available as an option.
If these checks confirm the color is offered for your model/year, you can proceed with ordering or selecting the option. If not, Nissan may provide other black metallic finishes that vary by market and generation.
Other black finishes and regional naming
In addition to Magnetic Black Metallic, Nissan uses several other black or near-black finishes that can appear similar. Names and availability vary by region and model year, with distinctions such as Brilliant Black, Black Obsidian Metallic, or other regional designations. Always compare official color palettes for your specific vehicle.
Summary
Magnetic Black Metallic is a genuine Nissan color option in some markets, represented as a deep black with metallic flecks. It is not guaranteed on every model or year, so prospective buyers should verify availability through Nissan’s official configurators, brochures, or a local dealership. When in doubt, confirm the exact color name and paint code for your intended vehicle and market.
