Just an FYI: the Nissan brand touch-up paint is specific to your model year car and color, by VIN.

You can try Langka Paint Chip Repair. Get a 2 Oz. bottle for about $20.00 from www.autosupermart.com

Here's their description:

"Langka Paint Chip Repair is the easiest way to repair ugly paint chips and scratches! Just clean the chipped area, apply your touch up paint to the chip, let dry about 5 minutes, and apply Langka and the paint surface is smooth just like new! langka removes excess touch up paint leaving the chip area smooth and even with the paint on your vehicle. One bottle will repair 50 - 100 paint chips. Safe for all painted surfaces and clear coat paint. For more information visit Langka.com"

Just go to the Body Care section and then go to the Accessories page.

I tried the touchup paint for mine and it sucks. I have Icelandic Pearl and thanks to this org I found out it requires two different bottles. I argued with Nissan in Conway about this for like an hour and finally the owner called HQ and they said YEP, the customer is right. Anyway, I will be taking mine in anytime I have an issue. They said paint repair (including chips) was covered under warranty. They have onsite paint experts in Conway every Friday and they said all I have to do is bring it in and they will fix it on the spot, no charge.

Just wait till I get my next paint chip (probably on the way home, hehe)

Icelandic Pearl touch-up is a two bottle job? Would you happen to have the Nissan part numbers for each of those bottles?

Thanks in advance.

Its expensive but it works.......local Buick and Nissan dealer use it on smaller damage. They farm out the bigger scrapes.

I'm not sure and my dealership parts person couldn't find it in the catalog but TRUST ME, FROM EXPERIENCE, THERE ARE TWO BOTTLES FOR ICELANDIC PEARL. I only got the one they have in the catalog and it looked like whiteout on my paint. The second bottle is the bottle that contains the pearl effects in it. The bottle in the catalog has NO Pearl in it.

As luck would have it I tried doing some touch ups on my Max this morning. I have the Nissan dual tipped pen (paint and clear coat). I started putting some on the (guess where) hood and the colour just DIDN'T match. First there was no pearling and second it's just plain white.

I stopped and found a clean spot inside one of the door jambs and put a couple of strokes down. I am going to see what it is like in a day or two once it has really set up. I will even try the clear coat on top of it, they may put the pearling in there.
