Got mine at the local nissan dealer.

 

I needed a rattle can for mine, so I ended up buying it off of expresspaint.com. If i remember correctly, they have many different options for containers- as small as paint pens, as large as gallons. Definitely happy with it- no issues and matches perfect. My car is EAF (lava red)

 

The pen works for small deep stuff and the aerosol will be better for larger areas.

I would then buff the crap out of the area to blend the colors. No matter how close the paint is, your paint will be faded from the sun.

 

Anyone know where to get an aerosol silver that matches the grill and rear bumper of 09+?

 

I may have copied a post that lists that color number. If so, I'll send it to you.

In the meantime, let's try to keep this thread on topic, i.e.:

What type of touch up paint do you prefer (paint pen, brush on, spear on, aerosol, etc.)?

Particular brand?

Particular supplier (Nissan dealer, online supplier, chain store, etc)?

Thanks.

 

Since my x is black, I go for the nice 2.99 gloss black krylon but only on the rusty spots.

 

The touch ups I need are all very small. Too small for an aerosol can.

I've never had great success with the touch up pens, but I may go with one from the local Nissan dealer if I can't find a better way.

I'm intrigued by the "dab, smear, blend" method advocated by this website, but don't know anyone who has actually tried it.

Anyone?

 

I always get my touch up paint from the dealer.

 

I have used the dealer touch up pen, but used the following YouTube video to do the touch up itself, this guy is very good at what he does, if not a little OCD. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6xi3xmeO6C4

 

I am also having difficulty finding touch up paint.

Metallic Green color code is JAH. I called a couple Nissan dealers to see if they had it in stock and they both said "Oh, our system doesn't even recognize that color code". :scratch:

Car paint suppliers will sell me a pint for $100 but that is WAY more than I could possibly need. Any advice? I am trying to fix this chip on my rear fender:

 

I am also having difficulty finding touch up paint. Metallic Green color code is JAH. . . .

The part number for Nissan OEM touch up paint, "Pop Green Metallic," color code JAH, is 999PP-DSJAH

@AlbatrossCafe pull dent, sand, primer, cover with rhinoliner.
@Mr. Bills drink scotch, dont look look at small stuff(it's all small stuff).

Man it's WAY too soon for that... I've not even had this thing for a year. I have to at least try to keep it nice. Although at this rate it is bound to look up like this by 2020:

 

For small touch ups, I have used TouchUpDirect Exact-Match in the past.

 

Nail polish! Had some rock chips and wanted something fast. Went into a Walgreens
and the chick behind the counter was super helpful, even let me take several colors
out to "match". Told me my choice would dry a little darker and it looks pretty good.
Been on for 6 months, now...holding up well.

 

FYI I tried to order touch up paint from a few Nissan parts sites such as this: https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/par...m/parts/nissan-pop-green-metal~999pp-dsjah.html?Vin=5N1AN0NWXBC519489&Filter=()

They all seem to not carry it anymore even though it is listed as "in stock". I might be hittin the nail polish shop or getting something custom. Damn you "metallic green"...

 

Did you try Brian at Cherry Hill Nissan. PM @Jerseyparts, give him the part number, and ask if he can get it for you. I had to order the Nissan touch up paint for mine - it took 3 or 4 days for it to get to my local Dealer's parts counter.

Part of your problem may be that there are many Infinitis that use that color but few Xterras. You might have better luck trying to look it up as if you were purchasing for an Infiniti.

 

Dr. Colorchip is the best you can get. I used their kit all the time on my old Mustang.

 

Soliciting any more advice for fixing some rock chips on the front and lower doors that are showing a bit of rust. I am down to deciding between Dr. Colorchip ($40), Touch-up direct ($30 with clear coat), and Nissan OEM paint pens ($21 from dealership).

I plan to do a thorough job of prepping first. A few spots are down to bare metal, but none more than 1-2 mm in size.

Is it best to put a layer of clear coat over the OEM pain pen, or is it just fine by itself? Is it best to put primer on too?

 

My touch up paint of choice is lineX! Haha

 

Honestly, Nissan didn't have it together with their paint. I came to this thread hoping to find solutions for metallic pop green. Only 1 dealer anywhere near me and they don't have it and likely won't get it!

I noticed that the rail gutters on my roof are flaking/splintered and this isn't due to abuse. Nissan seemed to really cheap out on the paint. I also have small ~5mm chipping on my B pillars. Again, this truck is about in perfect condition, no reason for this.

This has been my only complaint with my 2011 so far.

 

I have small chips all over me front side fenders and some rust one on the hood. What is the proper way to sand or pint these? Anyone put a protective film on the front fenders? Or maybe plasti dip or Bdliner ? Might get a bug deflector for the front.

 

Try Dr. Colorchip. Most of the good touch up pens have a fiberglass top to clean and prep the surface. Any diy sanding and paint to match factory like rattle can will look like crap and not last.
