Paint code KYO same as Maxima?

Are Brilliant silver and Sheer silver ('03 Maxima) the same color...they share the same paint code KYO. I have no Infinti dealer nearby but need some touch up ASAP!

Re: Paint code KYO same as Maxima?

I bought my touch up from infiniti. The bottle just says "NISSAN" and "KYO" on it so I'm guessing it's the same. The damn paint is off by a shade though. You can tell it's lighter then our g35 coupe BS. If you look at the tag under the hood it says "KYO G" so I don't know if that "G" makes a difference.

I just had my whole rear bumper painted because the touch up looked like crap. If it's on the bumper I think it looks better leaving it with a black scrape instead of a "bird crap" looking touch up paint. That was my ladies comment.

The data plate on my sedan says KYO G and my friend's 350Z data plate also says KYO G even though i think mine is lighter than his 350Z. Go figure!

You guys are correct...the KYO from Nissan is much lighter for some reason than my BS sedan. I will check the G designation.

The paint code KYO would be the same despite what the different names given for different cars. I have the same code. Its like calling H20 aqua, water, thirst quencher, etc,. Bottom line, it is all still water.

yes but the shades look different to me. The shade on the 350Z is definitely different than the shade on my G, at least to me it looks different a few shades.

I found out as you run out of touch up it starts to match better. I guess they just didn't mix it right or you just have to shake it a lot before using.
