Can anyone tell me the exact name of the metallic red of my 2015 QQ j11? Halfords sell 3 types of Nissan paint sticks. They all look similar. The one that's the nearest doesn't quite match.
Unsure which Red - 2015 1.6dci - N-Tec + usual extras including panoramic sun roof.

Crewmeal, you should also find the color stated on the 1st Page of your Nissan Service Book. For example here in Germany for the QQ / Juke the colors are : Solid Red-S-Z10 & New Red-M-NAJ.
For the U.K. It appears the colors are : Flame Red (No cost option) or Magnetic Red (M) - Hope this helps but double check your QQ paperwork also - Dave ;)

??? - it says Magnetic Red in your signature...

Magnetic Red is Nissan paint code NAJ

EDIT - I see you've changed your signature...

I bought a chipex kit last month and NAJ is also known as NISSAN ALIZARIN CRIMSON. I had to check as I hadn't heard of that one - but it matches :)

I checked my service book and it says New Red. There seems to be lots of names for the different reds on here. I guess it boils down to just 2. Ordinary red which you don't pay extra for at the time of delivery OR flame red, magnetic red, new red or fiery red depending on where you come from. Halfords have a cinnabar red. How confusing is all this?

Crewmeal, looks like I got it partially correct - Dave 8-)
