Toyota GR86 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Toyota really decided to have some fun with the GR86 palette. We've recorded 7 distinct colors for this generation, ranging from the stealthy Pavement Metallic and Steel Metallic to the "I've definitely arrived" vibe of Neptune 2.0. They even leaned into the car's enthusiast roots with Track bRed-a name that proves the marketing team has a sense of humor. Whether you're rocking the deep Raven Pearl or the brilliant Halo Tricoat, these colors were designed to pop under the sun, even if they occasionally pick up a few battle scars along the way.
What to Watch For
Here's the honest truth: the paint on the GR86 is a bit like a sensitive athlete-high performance, but it bruises easily. It is famously "soft" and thin, which means those highway pebbles love to leave little white chips on your hood and front bumper. You might also notice the paint feels a bit delicate around the door handles. To start your repair, you'll need your specific color code. You won't have to go on a treasure hunt; just pop the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. Look for the "C/TR" heading-the three digits following it are your golden ticket to a perfect match.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with Halo Tricoat, Surge Pearl, or Raven Pearl, those beautiful sparkles have a habit of settling at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to get those metallic flakes dancing again. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Dab a tiny amount of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. If the chip is deep, let the first layer dry for 20 minutes and add a second thin layer. It requires a little more patience than a "one-and-done" blob, but your hood will thank you for it.
