2024 Nissan Rogue Paint Color Codes

Quick reference

Where to find your paint code

For a 2024 Nissan Rogue, your paint code is typically located on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a sticker on the door frame or the edge of the door itself. The sticker usually contains a lot of information, including VIN, tire pressure, and other manufacturing details. Look for a section labeled "Color" or "Paint" with a two or three-character code.

Best touch-up paint sources

When it comes to touching up minor scratches or chips on your 2024 Nissan Rogue, several reputable sources offer quality products:

• Dupli-Color: A widely available brand offering touch-up pens, paint bottles with brushes, and aerosol cans. You can often find Dupli-Color products at automotive parts stores and online retailers. Be sure to select the correct paint code for an accurate match.
• AutomotiveTouchup: This company specializes in custom-mixed touch-up paints, ensuring a precise match to your vehicle's factory color. They offer various product types, including pens, bottles, spray cans, and even larger quantities for more extensive repairs. Their website allows you to search by year, make, and model to find your specific paint code.
• Tcoat custom-mix: Tcoat is another excellent option for custom-mixed paint, often favored by detailers and enthusiasts for its high-quality color matching. They can provide paint in various formats.
• Dealership: Your local Nissan dealership parts department can also supply official OEM touch-up paint for your 2024 Rogue. While sometimes a bit pricier, this guarantees the exact factory color and formulation.

How to use touch-up paint

Achieving a seamless repair with touch-up paint requires a few steps:

1. Clean the area: Thoroughly clean the chipped or scratched area with soap and water, then dry completely. Use a degreaser or rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or contaminants.
2. Apply primer (if necessary): For deeper chips that have gone beyond the base coat, apply a thin layer of automotive primer. Allow it to dry according to the product instructions.
3. Apply base coat: Shake the touch-up paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats to the damaged area, allowing each coat to dry for the recommended time before applying the next. Build up the paint gradually until it's level with the surrounding surface. For metallic or pearl paints, ensure you apply the paint evenly to avoid blotchiness.
4. Apply clear coat: Once the base coat is dry, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish. Again, apply thin layers and allow adequate drying time between coats.
5. Wet sand and polish (optional): For a truly professional finish, you can carefully wet sand the repaired area with very fine-grit sandpaper (2000-3000 grit) to smooth out any imperfections, then polish the area to restore the shine. This step is usually only recommended for experienced users.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Pearl and tri-coat paints, like Pearl White TriCoat or Scarlet Ember Tintcoat, can be more challenging to match perfectly due to their multi-layered composition. These paints consist of a base color, a mid-coat containing pearl or metallic flakes, and a clear coat. When using touch-up paint:

• Apply thin, even coats: This is crucial for pearl and metallic finishes to ensure the flakes lay down correctly and create the desired effect. Hasty application can lead to an uneven appearance.
• Observe lighting: The color of pearl and metallic paints can shift depending on the angle of light. Check your repair in various lighting conditions to ensure a good match.
• Consider a blended repair: For larger repairs on pearl or tri-coat finishes, a professional body shop might "blend" the new paint into the surrounding factory paint to achieve an invisible repair. This technique is typically beyond the scope of DIY touch-up kits.

If you are ever uncertain about your exact paint code, especially for unique colors or if your vehicle has been repainted, contact a Nissan dealership with your VIN, or consult a reputable automotive paint supplier. They can use your VIN to confirm the precise factory color.
