I have an uncommon color 240 but for previous vehicles Ive owned.. I hate to say it but.. I went to autozone and they had basically every color for American and Japanese vehicles. If that Aspen white was used on other commonly sold Nissans they, or another parts store most likely have it on their shelf and they could tell you.
Some of those people dont know what theyre doing though so actually be very careful haha

shermin williams automotive will mix oem colors in rattle cans if you have the color code.

Bushido · 08-10-2011, 04:53 PM

white is probably the easiest to match with a can. but s14s got a mayonaise color going on...

ive used rustoleum white to match nissan super white it was basically identical

lalo167 · 08-10-2011, 05:51 PM

i need help matching the pearl white too

TheRealSy90 · 08-10-2011, 06:01 PM

How about matching zenki s13 champagne. I would kill for that.

Matej · 08-10-2011, 06:04 PM

Rust-Oleum Regal Red is great for matching the 91-94 Aztec Red. And it protects from rust.

Sumslapper · 08-11-2011, 01:35 AM

If you go into an actual car painting supply store, they can match your exact color code and put it in a can. Its basically like a single-stage paint job. I painted a lip and it was an exact match. Its about $20 a can though.

coww-cho!!!!! · 08-11-2011, 02:15 AM

for my car i used Krylon's "Champagne nouveau" it's not exact but i used it for small parts like the headlight covers and piggy lip

REALIZE. · 08-11-2011, 04:02 AM

^^^^ vouch!

really good paint. we used it on cachos car^^^

Petitt · 08-11-2011, 04:08 AM

Rustoleum's gun metal metallic is identical the the charcoal found on your factory two tone coupes.

I got a can of this. I got a 92 s13 Coupe KG4 (Champagne/Sandstone Beige metallic)

I dunno how to word it but the rattle can paint is definitely a darker shade.

I'm still experimenting using primer basecoat and white base coat before using the can.

Anyone interested in seeing how well this stuff works when sprayed on chuki sideskirts? If so I'll spray it on Friday and try to get pics up.

SaNTi · 08-11-2011, 10:45 AM

Aspen pearl white anyone?

tqstarburst · 08-11-2011, 10:49 AM

I use two different types of ford green colors, to match th cobalt green on my s14. i'll edit and post the name of them in bit

zylvia213 · 08-11-2011, 10:52 AM

dude just go to a local paint shop and have them color match the gas lid for you in a single stage or bc/cc if you want better quality. Wont cost much

93nismo · 08-11-2011, 11:28 AM

if its something small like a chip or a scratch you can go to body shops or paint suppliers and give them your paint code and just have them mis the min ammount. then go buy a small paint brush from michaels and brush tough it. you gotta be carefull doing that though because obviously theres no clean in the paint so keep it a small as you can. timiya model paint comes in rattle can and has alot of colors very similer to nissan paint

So you're saying that they will make an aerosol can of your color preference for you?

i remember the former owner of your car told me about and used automotive paint in rattle can form before he got a real paint job on it.

in fact, i think i helped him with it on his hood. it's doesn't shoot out like a spray gun, but the paint is not bad.

I ordered from them to spray my ganadors and it's spot on.
