Hyundai Hyper Silver Metallic (NY) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the exact moment Hyundai decided to stop playing it safe and start chasing the German luxury giants. As the flagship shade for the original Genesis and the stately Equus, it was designed to mimic the appearance of liquid metal under valet lights. It is a sophisticated, high-brightness silver that avoids the flat, "rental car" look of cheaper base paints. Since your car has likely been braving the elements for over a decade, you will find that this shade is remarkably forgiving when it comes to hiding road grime, though it deserves a crisp finish to maintain that executive presence.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Hyper Silver Metallic (check for code NY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a true metallic finish, packed with fine aluminum flakes that provide its signature glow. The challenge with silvers like this is mottling-which is just a fancy way of saying the flakes can bunch up and look like dark streaks or shadows if applied too heavily in one spot. To avoid this, you want to focus on light, even layers. If the flakes lay down flat and uniform, the repair will disappear into the bodywork; if they clump, the spot will look darker than the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the black or silver manufacturer's sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually right under the word "PAINT." Before you commit to the car, test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic density matches your aged finish. When you start the repair, work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic flakes distribute evenly. Give each layer enough drying time so the paint doesn't sag, and finish with a clear coat to bring back that original showroom depth.
