COLOR CODENBB - Solar OrangeToyota Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your 86 belongs to a very small club of 2017 limited editions that traded subtle styling for high-visibility aggression. This color served as the face of the mid-cycle refresh, intended to emphasize the sharper lines and updated fenders of your car. Since this finish only appeared for a single year on special runs like the 860 Special Edition, it remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after modern enthusiast colors.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Toyota Solar Orange (check for code NBB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a pearl finish, not a solid orange. Pearl paints use tiny mica flakes to catch the sun, which gives the car its depth, but they are sensitive to application technique. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will cluster and look darker than the rest of the panel. If you go too light, the orange will lack the rich saturation that makes the car stand out.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the white identification sticker located inside the driver-side door jamb. When you start your repair, keep the container moving to ensure the pearl particles distribute evenly. If you use a brush or pen, apply thin layers rather than one thick glob to prevent the color from looking muddy. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays crisp. Always test the color on the included card to see how the light hits the pearl before you commit to the car body. Working in a cool garage or under some shade will prevent the paint from drying too fast and becoming textured.
