I've certainly never heard of the "sticker paint", however your best best would probably be to pick up a touch up pen directly from Nissan/Infiniti. One side of the pen is the pigmented paint and the other side is the clear coat. It works pretty good. Mine was only $14 CDN so I suspect yours in the US would be a little cheaper.

Yup... Pick up a paint pen from your dealer. They are like $10 in the US. That's the best thing for ya and good to always have. I'm thinking about picking some up just in case so I'll have it.

I used it before on my old G35 and the color match was perfect on a metallic diamond graphite color.

I agree with everyone else about the Infiniti touchup paint and paint pens they work well. Also sometimes what may look like allot of scratches but you can use a good wax (I would try zaino cleaner wax its green color and polishes too) it could remove allot of scraped on concrete and bring back the paint sometimes. My wife has hit a parking poll in our suv twice now and the first time I was able to buff out deep scratches with the wax but the second time we needed to take it to the bodyshop.
