    I don’t want to be one of those people that posts all the time but I wish someone had made this available for me. It’s hard for both still and video cameras to truly represent what Solar Octane looks like. Heck, it changes through out the day depending on lighting angle. My runner is really dirty but here is shot of the metal flake - I can definitely see both gold and magenta flakes.CB1003C8-9E58-409D-8C07-2250A8FC155D.jpg

    Nice color.

    You might consider filling in some details about your 4R, and maybe your location. If you have any questions, it's nice to know your year & model without having to search for those.

    Or not.

    Sorry about that, 2023 TRD Pro with the “Solar Octane” color in Oklahoma. For now all my questions have been answered (thanks to the forum). It will take some practice to get comfortable with all the off-road options. I’ll definitely be getting some feedback when that time comes.

    @MooreKen Might look a little different on a pc or iphone, but if you hit "You" at the top, you can add your rig's details in your Signature, or under personal details there is a section specifically to enter details on your 4R below the birthdate

    Saw two '24 OR's in Solar Octane on a lot today, was surprised to see the metal flake in it. Cool color.

    I’m going on 2 years now and it hasn’t gotten old yet…lol. The only con have found is due to it being a 3 ply process (thicker coat of paint) it tends to chip easier. But on the other hand I feel like it’s easier to keep clean. I haven’t washed mine in a few months now…. Maybe I’m just getting lazy.

    Cool color for sure, I'd never seen one in person. Tempting, but still holding out for Lunar Rock!

    Lunar Rock and Voodoo Blue are my other two favorites.

    Love my 23 Pro SO. Yes it’s easy to keep clean and don’t show dirt much. Also having PPF mostly on the whole vehicle and ceramic coat very easy to keep clean. Definitely a keeper.
