Hyundai Blue Sky Metallic (N2U) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Hyundai introduced this shade during the peak of their Fluidic Sculpture design era. If you drive an Elantra or a compact i20 from the early 2010s, this color was the face of the brand's shift toward more expressive styling. It is a bright, optimistic blue that leans toward the lighter side of the spectrum without becoming a pastel. Since your car has likely been on the road for at least ten years, you have probably noticed that this shade is quite forgiving with road salt and dust compared to darker navies. It gives those swooping body lines a lot of character, but it also means every deep scratch stands out against the lighter metallic base.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, which means it is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that provide that signature shimmer. The challenge with any metallic is that those flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a flat, muddy blue that looks nothing like the rest of your door. When you apply the paint, these flakes need to stand up and catch the light evenly. If the paint goes on too heavy, the flakes will clump or drown, leading to dark "mottled" spots that look like shadows on your repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Blue Sky Metallic (check for code N2U), you need to shake the container for at least sixty full seconds. You will find your paint code on a black sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, right on the center pillar. Park in a cool garage out of the wind to prevent dust from landing in your work. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle. When you are ready for the real thing, apply very thin layers and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Respect the drying time between passes; rushing a metallic finish is the fastest way to ruin the sparkle.
