Hyundai Ebony Black (EB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the foundational black that helped define the brand for decades. Whether you are fixing a chip on a classic Pony Excel or a later model Sonata, this shade remains remarkably consistent. It is a deep, non-metallic finish that provides a glass-like reflection when it is clean. Since your vehicle has likely been through plenty of car washes and road miles, you will notice that this fresh paint is incredibly dark compared to the slightly weathered sections of your car. It does not hide anything, so treat it with the respect a pure black deserves.

Technical Details

Because this is a solid color without any metallic flakes or pearl additives, it is much easier to match than more complex modern paints. You do not have to worry about the orientation of the flakes or "mottling" where the color looks striped. The risk with a solid black is its honesty; it acts like a mirror and will highlight every tiny scratch or uneven texture in your repair area. The benefit is a deep, uniform finish that looks factory-correct as long as your surface is smooth.

Best Practices

You will typically find your paint information on the silver or black sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Ebony Black (check for code EB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy black pigments are fully mixed. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the metal cool, as heat will make the paint dry too quickly and leave a rough texture. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the car to verify the tone. When applying, keep the container moving and focus on thin, even layers. Give the area enough drying time between coats so the paint can level out and bond properly.
