Anyone else noticed that the Nissan Cloud White touch-up paint is actually a bit more tan than white? Don't buy it!!!

It's the same paint they use at the factory.

Did you shake the hell out of it ?
Has it dried several days ?

It may be normal - remember paint looks a different color when it dries vs. wet.

I had a 1990 240sx that was Pearl white - it looked very white until it was covered in white snow, then it looked very tan....

Keep in mind, that touch up paint is not intended to hide or remove scratches. It is used to seal in a scratch so it doesn't flake, peel, crack or rust. It is, by no means, meant as an alternative to traditional paint work. You have a two stage paint on your truck (base coat, which is your color, and a clearcoat on top), the touch up paint is simply the base coat. Touching it up will cover it, but without clearcoat on top, it won't ever match or disappear.
