rustoleum is fairly cheap, its not a perfect match, but its really close, being a 92 and if its stock, im pretty sure its the aztec red .. "regal red" is the color that matches that one the best

What do you guys recommend. The Nissan touch up, or the rattle can.

Whats ur vin I will check for your paint code. Might be AH3 but might be AG2. Nissan touch up is a brush, just so you know.

A friend of mine had a minor crack in the paint so he sanded it down and put nissan touch up paint in a small spray gun made for toy model cars. the brush that came with the touch up paint left minor brushstrokes (not visible until you look at it super close) so dont use it or you will have to start over like he did. just to let you know that part of his car shines differently in the sun because that one area had new paint and the rest of his paint is 18 years old. Goodluck!
