Plymouth Solar Yellow (YH/PYH) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Solar Yellow is not a color for the shy or the retiring. It turned the humble Neon into a high-visibility statement, especially for those who remember it on the high-performance variants of the mid-2000s. It is a pure, punchy shade that captures the energy of a summer afternoon. Since your car has likely spent nearly twenty years under the sun, the original finish might have mellowed slightly, but this color still holds a unique spot in the history of the brand as one of its most unapologetic factory options.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you do not have to worry about metallic flakes or pearl particles looking uneven or "striped." While that makes the application more straightforward, yellow is a notoriously transparent pigment. It does not hide what is underneath very well. If you are covering a dark scratch or a gray primer, you will notice that the color takes a few more layers than a standard black or white would. The payoff is a deep, consistent glow that looks like liquid sunshine once the final clear layer is applied in the shade.

Best Practices

You will usually find your color ID on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or stamped onto a metal plate on the radiator support under the hood. Before you spray or dab Plymouth Solar Yellow (check for code YH/PYH), you need to shake the container for a full minute to ensure the heavy yellow pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current paint before you move to the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving to build thin, even layers rather than one heavy coat. Allow plenty of drying time between these layers to prevent the paint from sagging or running.
