NISSAN car paint 

If you plan to paint your car yourself and you want to know the color codes of Asian cars, and more precisely, the color code of your Nissan car, in order to know which paint you should order for your body, know that the process is done in reverse: you must first discover your Nissan color code, in order to be able to order the paint.

Indeed, based on the Nissan brand database, there are hundreds of color codes, among which it will be impossible to determine which is the one for your car.

For example, if your Nissan vehicle is metallic gray and the model year is 2006, then it will be impossible to find an exact result with its data: If we are looking for a metallic gray in the brand database over this period, you can find up to thirty different color references.

It is therefore imperative first of all to take a good look on the body of the vehicle in certain special places, which are moreover well known and usual, in order to locate the few numbers and letters which usually make up the paint references .

As for the color name, it never appears on the bodywork. It can be obtained from the dealer, or on the forums or on the original vehicle booklet. It is also not on the gray card.

The NISSAN car color codes

The brand's paint and color lists are coupled with those of INFINITI, the group's luxury branch. The color reference quantity is very important.
To make the original paint, that is to say mix with the evolving concentrated colors and obtain what is called a “base paint to be varnished”. Or more rarely a "direct gloss" paint, we use software with all the detailed and matched colors. For this, it is necessary to know how to recognize which is the good reference of the paint.
The composition of these original paint references is made according to international standards and is comparable to that of other vehicles and other manufacturers.
There are mainly 3 digits:

Example :
Nissan color code       Nissan color name
056                                MARFIL DATSUN

Often and systematically for 20 years, there is also a letter in the composition of the Nissan color code.

Example :
Nissan color code        Nissan color name
47A                                 DARK GREEN

These color codes can be confused with other references when looking at the “Vinplate” plate. For this reason, it is advisable to take a photo of the plate in order to provide it to the specialist who is in charge of the painting. Only he will be able to access his software and check which is the correct Nissan color code.

The history of the manufacturer NISSAN
