Lamborghini Arancio Borealis Tricoat (905385/2) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Arancio Borealis is the visual heartbeat of the mid-2000s Lamborghini era. If you own a Gallardo or a Murcielago from the 2008 to 2012 window, this color defines the personality of your machine. It is a loud, unapologetic orange that turns the sharp angles of your car into liquid fire when the sun hits it. Because your car has likely spent over a decade on the road, your paint has faced its fair share of environmental stress, but this specific shade remains the gold standard for Italian exotic finishes.

Technical Details

This is a complex pearl tricoat, which means the depth comes from a specific layering process rather than a single coat of pigment. Pearl finishes are notoriously sensitive to how they are applied. If you apply the paint too thick with your brush or nozzle, the repair will look darker and flatter than the surrounding area. The pearl particles need to sit just right to catch the light, so you must be mindful of the thickness of your layers. If you rush it, you risk a muddy finish that loses the glow that makes this orange famous.

Best Practices

Before you dab or spray Lamborghini Arancio Borealis Tricoat (check for code 905385/2), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute the pearl flakes. You can typically find your paint code sticker on the underside of the front hood or "frunk" lid. Always test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and how the pearl settles. When you are ready for the actual repair, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and allow plenty of drying time between your light layers to ensure the depth of the orange matches the factory look.
