Hyundai Granite Gray Metallic (GOD) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was reserved for the heavy hitters in the lineup. On the Equus, it signaled a serious attempt at executive luxury, while on the i40, it added a layer of sophistication that made the car look far more expensive than its price tag. It is a deep, grounded gray that does not scream for attention but definitely commands it once noticed. Since your Hyundai has likely been on the road for over a decade, this finish has probably developed some character, but it remains one of the more resilient shades for hiding daily grime and minor road wear.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish. It relies on a dense population of microscopic flakes to create that signature granite depth and shimmer. The primary risk with this type of paint is mottling-those uneven dark spots or "tiger stripes" that appear if the paint is applied too heavily in one pass. Because the metallic flakes are relatively heavy, they tend to sink or bunch up if the layer is too wet. Maintaining a consistent flow is vital to ensuring those flakes stand up and catch the light exactly like the factory intended.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code plate located on the driver's side door jamb, right where the door latches to the frame. Before you apply Hyundai Granite Gray Metallic (check for code GOD), you must shake the container vigorously for at least one minute to wake up the metallic particles that have settled at the bottom. Test the color on the included card first; this lets you see exactly how the flakes lay down and how the shade reacts to your specific lighting. Work in the shade of your garage and keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Patience is your best friend here, so allow for ample drying time between each light coat to ensure a level, professional finish.
