Does anyone know the correct paint to buy from paintscratch.com that will match the paint on an artic white max? I have a couple ideas for mods!

It goes by manufacturer color code right? Depending on the year you'll either find that in the door jam of the driver's door or under the hood. I know on my 2k it was on a metal plate under the hood. I believe you're looking for a 3 digit letter/number combo.

you don't have to know the code
you can search by the vehicle and year. then just choose your white color..

Yeah, I didn't know if I could just get the white color and that was it, since the artic white has the pearl in it. It is a three stage paint with a primer, mid-coat, then clear coat.

It can't be much worse than the Nissan touch-up paint. I went to the trouble of making sure I matched up the paint code and it still didn't even come close to matching.

Don't expect any touch-up paint to match your white pearl. I have a 95 arctic white pearl Max and I work in a body shop. I got in a little accident a while ago and had a couple cracks in the paint. I wanted to paint any little spots that might rust, so I asked the painter at work to mix up some touch-up paint for me. He has been doing this for 20-some years. He said it wouldn't match very well since it is a pearl color. According to him, nearly any color with pearl is impossible to match. I used the paint and he was right. It doesn't match for ****. It looks much better than rust spots on white paint ever could, but it clearly stands out if you're less than 15 feet away. I can't imagine the paint you were looking at could match much better. My paint was done by a skilled professional and my car was right there in front of him.

white95max,
not to bash your friend/co-workers skills...but i brought my spoiler to a shop and they matched the paint better than the bumpers on the car. it is absolutely a perfect match to the rest of the body. however, i do agree it is nearly impossible to match and more often than not it will be off. damn tough colors to match, but damn good looking.

I had body work done after a hit and run when the car was 3 months old and I was happy with the paint matching. They sprayed the white coat, pearlscent, and then clearcoat

After the accident, my whole front was repaired and repainted. during the day time, whole car looks the same color, which is Arctic White w/ Pearl. during the night, under the light, I see difference between my hood and bumper. My hood is more like Pearl white than arctic pearl. but my bumper is 100% arctic white w/o any hint of pearl. The paint was done in one shop....so..i'm like....

I agree, I bought some touch-up paint from the dealership. when i painted TWO touch-up paint, which is one arctic white and one pearlish clear, it seemed like it matched really good when it was not dried. but when i looked at it very next day... OMG...SICK!!
I rather just put arctic white only than arctic white + pearlish clear.

Here are the Nissan numbers for QN0 Articv white touch-up paint.

999PP-PEBQN-TC = TOP COAT (TINTED CLEAR COAT)
999PP-PEBQN-BC = BASE COAT ( WHITE PAINT)

Good luck. Practice in an obscure spot. Hard to match just right without practice.
