Hyundai Bronze Gray Pearl (JP) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your car wears a color from an era when Hyundai was pushing to prove it could do "upscale" just as well as the luxury brands. On the Azera, this shade acted as a sophisticated alternative to boring rental-car silver, offering a warm, earthy depth that feels more expensive than it is. Even on the Elantra, it gives the body lines a more substantial, grounded presence. Because of those bronze and brown undertones, it is incredibly forgiving when it comes to hiding road film and dust. It is a mature, quiet color that only really shows its personality when the sun hits the pearl flakes and brings out that metallic glow.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains tiny translucent mica particles along with standard metallic flakes. The benefit is a deep, shimmering glow, but the risk is "mottling"-where the flakes bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for over a decade, the original finish might have shifted slightly due to UV exposure. Pearl finishes are sensitive to how thick they are applied; if you go too heavy, the repair will look darker and muddier than the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

You will find your factory ID plate on the driver's side door jamb, usually on the center pillar where the door latches. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Bronze Gray Pearl (check for code JP), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Those heavy pearl particles love to settle at the bottom, and if they aren't fully mixed, the color will look like a flat gray instead of a bronze pearl. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down before moving to the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic bits distribute evenly. Work in the shade or a garage to keep the surface cool, and give it plenty of drying time between light coats.
