Touch Up Paint

I have some rock chips on my front bumper, and was thinking of getting a 3M clear bra. Before I did that though, I'd want to fix some of those marks....

Can you get touchup paint for a brilliant silver G35 from a Nissan dealership? There is one right by my house.

Call Hyatt Infiniti and find out the colour code, then you should be able to get one from the Nissan dealer. Sunridge Nissan told me that they can order pretty much anything from Infiniti if I have the part numbers, the only downside is that they don't stock the parts so you usually have to wait.

You could but there are much better alternatives. PaintScratch is fantastic http://www.paintscratch.com/.

I've gone the paintscratch.com route along with a local auto supply store that custom mixes paints according to the factory color code. After being disapointed with how closely they matched the original paint, I went with OEM bottles and pens and never looked back.

Riverside will sell them to you (that's where I got mine), or I've also purchased from Nissan dealers. Everythingg35.com probably has them as well.

This list is originally from infinitihelp.com or a similar site, I can't remember:
AX6: Laser Red
AY2: Garnet Fire
B16: Caribbean Blue / Medium Blue
B21: Athens Blue
B30: Lakeshore Slate
BW5: Dark Blue Pearl / Twilight Blue Pearl
D10: Green
K23: Liquid Platinum
K32: Serengeti Sand
KH3: Black Obsidian
KX6: Desert Platinum
KY0: Brilliant Silver
QX1: Ivory Pearl
WV2: Diamond Graphite

I think I may give the OEM route, I don't mind paying a bit extra for the paint to match.

ChristianN - is it any cheaper to go through the Nissan dealerships as opposed to Hyatt Infiniti? Or does it make more sense just to go to Hyatt...
