COLOR CODED04 - Nocturnal PearlToyota Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive black for the modern performance era. Since it helped launch the fifth-generation Supra, this color has become the go-to choice for owners who want their car to look aggressive. While it might look like a standard deep black in the shade, the finish is designed to react to light. It gives your car a sense of weight and presence that a solid black cannot match. Because your Supra is a performance machine, keeping this specific depth intact is the only way to maintain that factory-fresh stance.

Technical Details

This color is a pearl metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with microscopic flakes that create a signature glow. These flakes are heavier than the liquid pigment and will sink to the bottom of your container while it sits on a shelf. If you apply it without a thorough mix, the repair will lack the sparkle of the rest of the car and look like a dull, flat spot. Shaking is the most important step to ensure the flakes stay suspended so the light bounces off the repair exactly like it does the rest of the hood.

Best Practices

You can confirm your paint code on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Toyota Nocturnal Pearl (check for code D04), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute those metallic particles. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching your vehicle. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and allow for adequate drying time between light layers to build a finish that mirrors the factory depth.
