The paint code for an Infiniti Q50 is typically found on the driver’s door jamb on the Vehicle Identification Label, a small alphanumeric code that identifies the exact exterior color.
If you can’t locate it there, the code can also appear on other labels associated with the car’s build data—such as a label in the trunk or on the inside of another door. The following guide outlines common spots and how to use the code for repairs or touch-ups.
Common location: driver-side door jamb label
Most Infiniti Q50 vehicles store the color code on the certification/vehicle labeling sticker attached to the driver-side door jamb. This label typically includes the VIN, tire information, and other build details, with the paint code printed as a short alphanumeric string.
- Open the driver’s door and inspect the door jamb edge or the inside of the door for a sticker or plate.
- Look for a field labeled “PAINT,” “COLOR,” or similar, followed by a short code (often 2–4 characters).
- Note that the format may vary by year or region, but it is usually near the VIN and tire information on the label.
The paint code is a concise identifier you can use to match factory paint for touch-ups or full repaint work.
Other possible locations and year-to-year differences
If the driver-side door label isn’t accessible or doesn’t show a paint code, try these alternative spots. Some model years or special editions place the code elsewhere.
- Inside the trunk area, on a label near the spare tire well or trunk lid—look for a sticker with VIN and paint information.
- Across some years, the color code may be printed on the passenger-side door jamb or inside the glove box / owner’s manual packet.
- In rare cases, a chassis or engine bay label may include the color code.
If you still can’t find it, a Infiniti dealership or certified body shop can pull the exact color information from your VIN using manufacturer databases.
How to use and verify the paint code
Once you have the code, you can verify and use it in the following ways:
- Cross-check the code with Infiniti’s official color database or a reputable paint supplier to confirm the exact color name and code format.
- Provide the code to a body shop or automotive paint supplier to obtain the correct paint mix for touch-ups or full repaint.
- Confirm that the code matches the specific year and trim of your Q50, since color names and codes can vary across production years.
When the label is unclear or damaged, calling or visiting an Infiniti dealer with your VIN is the most reliable way to confirm the correct color code.
Summary
The paint code on an Infiniti Q50 is most often found on the driver’s door jamb labeling sticker, but it can appear in trunk labels or other door jambs depending on year and region. Use the code to identify the exact factory color for touch-ups or full repaint, and verify it via Infiniti’s database or a dealer if needed.
