EDIT: The paint code was NBB and it apparently was pearl coat.

I guess that one was a one-off for that special edition? I never seen one in person so i cant say what the colour is like in person. If the special edition is orange and is the same used in the 2022 WRX i guess i'll be somewhat underwhelmed. I didnt really care for that colour on that car. |

Be confusing as hell if they use the Subaru named "Solar Orange" Which is a faded out looking crappy colour. I am a huge fan of orange cars but that Subaru version is just blah.

Its the new 2022 WRX orange.
Look at the positive side of it, no-one is buying the new WRX, so its going to be a rare hue |

The paint codes for the 86 and the BRZ were always the same even with the different company names (i.e. Raven and Christal Black Silica were both D4S) so the 0 changes that "normal" situation up. On the other hand they are not going to make codes so similar that an 0 changes the colour so the orange is probably correct even if it is the suckiest shade of orange ever. I have seen the WRX and it looks like it sat in the Arizona sun for far too long. I am biased though since I predicted a shade of orange a while back before we had a code. It is just a really normal Toyota thing to do. The BRZ will probably get a special blue or grey instead since that is their go to.

Just to clarify, it is NOT a pearl/tri-stage/premium paint. The "AM" suffix is for standard paint colours, and "AA" is used for red/white

I think, with the gloss black wheels and door mirrors, it might look nice on the GR86. I think it will make it pop and be better suited to our coupes body style as well. |

The WRX code WCL is called "Solar Orange Pearl" but I am not convinced the one I saw had any hint of a pearl coat. Sort of weird.
