Hyundai Indigo Blue Pearl (2X) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the peak era of the Tiburon and the 2007 redesign of the Elantra. It is a deep, moody blue that carries a lot of weight on the car body. In the shade, it looks almost black, but direct sunlight pulls out the blue depth. Since your car has been on the road for nearly two decades, the original finish has likely weathered, so your repair needs to account for that character.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is different from a simple flat blue. It relies on mica flakes to create a shimmering effect. Because these flakes are suspended in the liquid, they can settle or clump together if the paint sits still. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the flakes will pile up and create dark, blotchy patches that look like shadows on your door or fender. Keeping those flakes level is the secret to a professional result.

Best Practices

Before you apply Hyundai Indigo Blue Pearl (check the driver's side door jamb for code 2X), you must shake the container for at least two minutes. Those mica flakes need to be fully integrated to match the factory depth. Test the color on the included card to see how the darkness compares to your current paint. Work in a Garage or under some Shade to keep the metal surface cool. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down evenly without pooling. Use thin layers and give each one enough drying time to set before adding the next.
