Doing some spring rust repair and I am in desperate need of the factory "pearl white" paint on a 1995 Maxima.

Obviously autoparts stores don't carry such a rare color and I don't want to pay a hefty premium on going to a collision center and getting it made there.

I don't have an air sprayer so having it in a can is pretty much a must.

Please forward me a link or location where I can get some!

Thanks!

 

a dealer ship should have it.

 

http://www.courtesyparts.com/paint/maxima.html < oldest is '98.

What's even more difficult is trying to match a 13 year old paint job.

Get the color code from the metal plate on the firewall, and then take it to a body shop where they can blend it to look 13 years old.

 

The stickies have links to this.

I think paintscratch.com should have it and I think I have seen on-line dealers sell it. It's a 2 or three stage application.

 

Cool, thanks guys. I've got white primer and clear - just missing the actual color Paintscratch.com has it for $50 which, is pretty nuts but if all else I'll have to do that.

Unfortunately I don't have a nissan dealership around here, so I may just go online.

Thanks again!

 

Oh, just looked at Courtesy parts and they have pens for $16... I have about 1 sq/ft area tops, probably more like 1/2 sq/ft, do you think that a pen would make it that far?

There is also a 1/2 oz brush applicator for $12... what would the results of a brush on compare to a spray?

Thanks!

 

Get your paint code and take to any auto paint shop.

 

Sherwin Williams..........?

 

Pearl is a 3 step paint process. Base, Pearl, Clear. It's not easy to match.

Nissan doesn't make paint, they build cars

Just like the glass and tires and electronics and light bulbs.......

 

do not buy the pens they are a waste!

 

take ur car to a body shop. there's no shortcuts to pearl white. even the stock pearl white prob has 10 diff variatioins. there's 8 on the 07 lexus IS250
