Factory paint codes

2024 Nissan Altima

9 factory colors were offered on the L34 (sixth generation) Altima. Your code is on the driver's door jamb sticker on the line marked C/TR — the characters before the slash.

9 colors 4 finishes: Metallic, Pearl, Solid, Tri-coat L34 (sixth generation) (2019–2026)

No color changes from 2023. All 9 codes carried over unchanged into 2024. If you are matching paint on a 2023 or 2024 Altima, the roster is identical.

Verified against 3 independent sources: Nissan USA official 2024 Altima brochure (nissanusa.com CDN): https://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/Nissan/us/vehicle-brochures/2024/2024-nissan-altima-brochure-en.pdf - CHOOSE YOUR COLOR page, same nine swatches as 2023 across S SV SR SL; PaintRef Nissan Altima 2024 cross-reference: https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=2024&manuf=Nissan&model=Altima - nine chips including KCH Gray Sky and QAB Pearl White; ImportArchive: https://importarchive.com/color/kch/nissanaltima2023 (Gray Sky Pearl) and https://importarchive.com/color/qab/nissanaltima2023 (Pearl White TriCoat).

Roster unchanged from 2023. Worth flagging against the Rogue: the Altima keeps Pearl White TriCoat (QAB) for 2024 and does NOT adopt Everest White TriCoat (QBE), so QBE must never appear on a 2024 Altima.

Where to find your paint code

Colour label on the driver's-side door jamb / B-pillar

Driver's door jamb

  1. Open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar and door jamb area.
  2. Find the small silver, white or black Colour ID tag carrying barcodes and dense alphanumeric text.
  3. Read the 3-character value printed under the heading COLOR (for example QAB, K23, XEX).
  4. On a two-tone Rogue the label shows the single X-prefixed combination code, not the individual body and roof codes.

If the sticker is missing or faded

  • Check low on the door jamb near the striker - on some cars the label sits in the bottom corner and needs a crouch to read.
  • Look at the bottom corner of the VIN plate, where the colour code is tucked beneath the word COLOR.
  • Call Nissan Consumer Affairs at 1-800-647-7261 with the VIN and ask for the factory paint code.
  • Ask any Nissan dealer parts department to run the VIN - the build record lists the exterior colour code.

Other Altima years

Color availability changed year to year. Codes often carried over; names sometimes did not.
