Hi everyone. I have a white Qashqai with a scratch on the black wheel arch. Does anyone know the black paint code for this as I want to repair it myself?

The wheel arches aren't usually painted.
Could you post a picture? Have they been retro-painted?

Hi and Welcome ! As Gloucester has mentioned I am also of the opinion that the “Black” Trim is Molded Black and not painted. The new QQ Tekna + J11B has painted Trim. I had a QQ Tekna for 5 years and always used “Mothers” Back to Black Trim Restorer (Clear) or Car Plan Black Trim Wax (Black). Both these products done a good job. Now if the Scratches are too deep you might need a Filler Job to get the level back. See pics as a comparison - Dave

Arch is plastic (except metal wing edge) as said above...anyway:
The paint code is on the B pillar - driver side. Below the tyre pressure figures etc. If u can't work it out get a picture of the info on that pillar.
My J11 2017 is Black and is Z11
Dave: I'll add here that the paint won't be any good on plastic edging...

There are a lot of these Wheel Arch Parts available on the Web if the Scratches are too deep and you are not happy with them.
Be careful when using the Z11 Color as this is the Body Color Pearl Black Metallic Gloss whereas in my opinion the Arches are Matt - Dave

Thanks to everyone for the quick and detailed replies.
I hadn't realised the surround was a separate trim piece.
I will try and touch up / in the scratch. Hoepfully, I wont make a mess.
This Qashqai will be traded for another next month.
I am just trying to work out engine and gearbox combination.
Currently have the 1.5T diesel Manual but considering a 1.3T Auto Petrol.

I must admit that those type of scratches showing white underneath appear to have been sprayed as Gloucester mentioned. If not they are pretty hefty scratches. Is it a Private Trade In or a Lease Return because you could get charged for the repair of the Diamond Cut Wheels - Dave

It's on a PCP. Car is a 2016 Tekna. This is my FIRST PCP so haven't gone through the pitfalls of a return. I think GFV was 10k and its under that on We buy site. Mileage is well under as I had planned a European trip and lock down effect this year.

I'd try a bit of abrasive polish on those wheelarches, followed by some black boot polish.
I can't see why that would be white showing through - but it could be on the top?
