Nissan Savvana Orange (EAU) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a loud, confident color that defined the Navara during its 2017 debut. It sits somewhere between a burnt copper and a tropical fruit, designed to look its best when your truck is covered in dust or parked in the bright sun. Since your vehicle has likely seen its fair share of road miles and weather, you will notice that this shade holds its depth well, though it can highlight fine surface scratches more than a standard silver. It is a high-energy choice that transforms the utility of a pickup into something meant for the trail.

Technical Details

This finish is a Pearl Metallic. This means the paint contains microscopic mica and metallic flakes that reflect light at different angles. Because of those particles, you run the risk of mottling-those dark splotches or stripes-if the flakes do not settle evenly. To avoid this, you must keep the container moving at all times during application. If the flakes clump together, the repair will look like a dark bruise instead of a shimmering orange. The pearl layer gives the color its glow, but it requires a steady hand and consistent flow to get the particles to lie flat.

Best Practices

You will find your identification sticker on the driver's side door jamb, usually located on the pillar near the latch. Before you spray or dab Nissan Savvana Orange (check for code EAU), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the heavy metallic flakes at the bottom are fully mixed into the paint. Test the color on the included card to see how the light hits those pearl elements before you touch the actual bodywork. Work in a Garage or a patch of Shade to keep the surface cool. Apply your layers in thin coats and allow plenty of drying time between them. If you are using a pen or brush, avoid dabbing the same spot repeatedly, as this will disturb the metallic finish.
