how do i get factory paint at like pep boys or something? i was gonna paint my grille factory color but couldnt ever find the right paint color. i had to use some datsun pickup paint. it matches pretty good but i would like to find the correct match. their little books didnt really have a good color match for my car. the closest was "silver frost" and it looked nothing like my color. anyone know the code or paint name for my car? i know skymax's was the same color and so is FAST4EN's.

 

The paint coat is a 4 digit code found on a sticker, on the inside of your hood. I picked up a can of Nissan touch up paint, it was around $4-5 and a perfect match. Dont mess with any of the aftermarket touch ups, unless your dealing with a pick up truck, or some older domestics.

 

whered you get it? at a dealer? i'd like to get the nissan paint too.

 

The charcoal gray paint has this little glitter that usually comes on higher end cars and it was a perfect match overall, so I was very impressed.

You got me thinking too, cause my 94 GXE grille was stolen, I have an old 91 GXE grille for now, it looks like crap, so let me know how your project goes.

 

ok thanks

 

Yeah I found that out the hard way about the aftermarket touch up paints....stay as far away from those as possible...sure they're cheap, but remember the saying "you get what you pay for"? It definately applies here.
Did you get the paint codes? If not, I can find it for you.

Silver Frost Metallic...I'll look for the code
