New paint code for 2018? "Thunder"

[sirsol66]

Not sure if anyone else uses Toyota Reference, but noticed something interesting that popped up on their site:

http://importarchive.com/scion/frs/paint

If you look at paint section, for 2018, no more hot lava and replaced by a yellow called "thunder". The paint codes (NAD) matches with the 2017 series yellow BRZ.

Mistake or accidental leak a few weeks before 2018 details go out? Argue among yourselves!

I am fine with it ending! I may have to go find a new 16 to buy and park for a few years until I need another though.

Hmm if that's true that makes HyperBlue the unicorn color between the twins GLOBALLY, until we get more details on that Solid Grey paint released in Japan

Toyota are a bunch of H8Rs.

Thunder reminds me of BMW's Dakar yellow

I'm gonna be pissed if Toyota does indeed produce 2018 86's in the same color as my Series.Yellow... where's the sense of uniqueness.

What about the RS 2.0?


Edit: Meaning, is Desert Khaki offered on the twins anywhere else in the world?


Also, what about the 10-series? Was that color offered anywhere else?

I think that's a different paint color. Different paint code.

Oops, definitely read RS 1.0. My bad.

not gonna lie i'm also gonna be a little annoyed if they come out with the same yellow as my series yellow on a regular 86=_=

Wouldn't blame you. The chip is pretty hard to judge by but my guess it will be closer to tan than yellow.
Pretty safe bet it is a real colour coming up but we don't know if it will be a regular production car or a special edition.


EDIT:


Teach me to not research before guessing (I will do it again though)
The NAD paint code is indeed the same as the Series Yellow!

Oh you are batting 1,000 today!
I have had a couple of yellow cars and as long as it isn't some washed out pastel I love the colour on the right body style.

Yellow can look good, but it requires a ton of work and a ton of black accents, especially a black skirt package that just makes them beautiful, but then again, black accents and black skirts can make any car look good if it suits it. I'll give you a pass on the lancer, but white lancer is the best.
