Hyundai Captiva White (7F/EC) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential clean slate from the era when Hyundai truly began to modernize its lineup. Whether it is on the curves of a sporty Tiburon or the practical panels of an i30, this shade delivers a bright, clinical finish that feels fresh without being flashy. It represents a period where the brand moved toward a crisp, European-inspired aesthetic. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for over a decade, this white is a smart choice for maintenance because it stays cooler in the summer sun and masks light surface swirls much better than a dark metallic would.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish, which means there are no metallic flakes or pearl additives to complicate the application. This makes your repair much easier to manage because you do not have to worry about the uneven "mottling" or tiger-striping that often happens when metallic particles settle poorly. The trade-off is that a pure solid white is a total magnet for road grime and iron fallout. Because there is no sparkle to distract the eye, any bit of grease, wax, or dust left on the surface will be visible under the finish, so your cleaning step is the most important part of the job.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the manufacturer's sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply Hyundai Captiva White (check for code 7F/EC), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the white pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your car's current condition, as sun exposure can shift the color over the years. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging. Work only in a cool garage or the shade, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure a level surface.
