Hyundai Abyss Black Pearl (A2B) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Abyss Black Pearl is the signature dark finish for Hyundai's modern era. It looks sharp on the angular lines of the Elantra and adds a high-end feel to the wide surfaces of the Palisade. While it appears to be a solid black in the shade, direct sunlight reveals a deep glow that makes your Ioniq-5 or Santa Fe look more sophisticated than a vehicle with basic fleet paint. It is a dense, heavy color that gives the car a weighted, premium presence on the road.

Technical Details

Since this is a pearl finish, the paint contains tiny mica particles that reflect light from different angles. This means the color has depth that a standard black lacks, but it also means the application requires more care. The mica flakes tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If they are not properly mixed, your repair will look like a flat, muddy charcoal rather than a deep black. Black is the most unforgiving color for showing textures, so you have to be careful not to let the paint build up too thick in one spot.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver or black VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Abyss Black Pearl (check for code A2B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable because those pearl particles need to be fully suspended to match the factory glow. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the mica settles as it dries. When you move to the car, work in a garage or the shade and keep the container moving to ensure the flow stays even. Give each thin layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays flat and smooth.
