How to find the paint code for a Nissan
Nissan’s range of reliable models that include the Radiant Silver Metallic Nissan Altima and GT-R have been around for a long time. Throughout the various iteration of its multiple models, Nissan has opted to put their paint codes in different places. Below you’ll find a list of sites, but depending on the model and year, it could be in a different location. Make sure to:
- Look in the passenger and driver’s side door jamb
- Check on the vehicles firewall which you will find under the hood
- While your there look on the Nissan’s core support column
- Take a look on the door pillars either side of the vehicle

How to understand your Nissan paint code
The paint codes that Nissan provides are usually three digits in length and contact both numbers and letters.
Example: KH3
The code above represents KH3 Black Obsidian, one of Nissan’s most popular colors. Other paint codes include KAD Gun Metallic.
VIN tags on models like the Sentra contain a lot of information, so it may not be apparent where to look initially. Nissan paint codes are often found on the bottom of the VIN sticker under the headline “COLOR.” You won’t find the color description Radiant Silver Metallic. Instead, it will just be the code K12.
