Hyundai Glacier Silver Metallic (CS) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This silver was essentially the uniform for the early 2000s Hyundai Accent and Brio. It is a workhorse color designed to stay looking clean even when the car hasn't seen a wash in weeks. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for two decades, the original paint might have shifted slightly toward a flatter tone, but this shade remains the standard for maintaining that classic, utilitarian Hyundai appearance. It is a practical choice that hides small dings and road salt better than almost any other color from that era.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny aluminum flakes that provide its shimmer. The main risk here is mottling. If you apply the paint too thick or unevenly, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, cloudy spots or stripes. Since this is a basecoat, it will look matte and dull once it dries. The shine only returns once you apply your clear coat, so resist the urge to keep adding paint to find a gloss that isn't supposed to be there yet.

Best Practices

You can verify your paint code by checking the sticker on the driver's door jamb or the door edge. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Glacier Silver Metallic (check for code CS), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your weathered paint. While applying, keep the container moving in steady, even strokes to prevent the flakes from pooling, and allow a ten-minute drying time between thin layers.
