Bodyshops/Dealerships all mix thier own paint. It's really not a big deal. As long as you have a shop that is good, and thier tech's care. We mix every color, and variant made. It's not a problem.

Go to an Infiniti dealer. They should have some. Be aware, it would be a whole new clearcoat. I said this in a different thread, I have it on my black '09 FX35. It really doesn't work that well. I still see all the micro-scratches that I've seen on my black cars I've owned before. Could it be a little better? Sure. I just can't tell. The manual says to leave it in hot sun to work. I've done that on-purpose numerous times. Little scratches still there. Just my opinion. Again, try a few Infiniti dealers. I know you guys in the UK just got them.

Hope that helps.

Richie, I think a good detailing job should protect the car and keep it looking as good as the Scratch Shield. Again, it's my opinion, but I do have it. It just came with my Infiniti, but I don't think it's offered this year. That's what I've heard. If you'd ask me if it was worth it.. I'd say, "Not really." I could use that money for some good detailing that would take care of those little tiny scratches. That's what Scratch Shield is for. Not for deep scratches.

I'll make sure to get out in my driveway with my "boiling water machine" and spray down my car. :rofl2: Mine clearly doesn't even come close to that.
