COLOR CODEASY - Solar Yellow TricoatKia Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Soul was built to be the loudest car in the parking lot, and this high-voltage yellow is the reason why. This color served as the face of the 2020 redesign, capturing a high-energy, playful vibe that most manufacturers are too afraid to touch. Because your car is a few years old now, you might notice the original paint has a specific glow that only comes from a multi-stage finish. It is a bold choice that demands attention, but it also shows every bit of road grime, so keep a microfiber cloth handy once your repair is finished.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is why it has that extra dimension when the sun hits the panels. Since it is a tricoat, the repair process is more involved than a standard solid color. You are dealing with a base layer and a translucent mid-layer that contains the pearl effect. The biggest risk here is "over-building" the color. If you apply the mid-coat too heavily, the repaired spot will look darker or more orange than the surrounding factory paint. It is a balancing act that requires a light touch to get the depth just right.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Kia Solar Yellow Tricoat (check for code ASY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pearl particles are evenly distributed. You can verify your color match by looking at the silver VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card to see how many layers of the mid-coat you need to reach the right shade. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling and creating a dark "halo" effect. Work in the shade and give each thin layer plenty of drying time to ensure the finish stays crisp and bright.
