Hyundai Indigo Blue Pearl (2X/KB) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the era when Hyundai moved away from basic finishes toward more sophisticated, multi-dimensional tones. On a sporty Tiburon, this deep blue highlights the body lines, while on an Elantra or Elantra Touring, it provides a professional, high-end appearance that looks almost black in low light. Since your vehicle has been on the road since the late 2000s, the original finish has likely weathered many miles, making this a deep but potentially sensitive color to match if the surrounding panels have significant sun wear.

Technical Details

This is a true Pearl finish, which is quite different from a flat solid or a simple metallic. It contains specialized mica particles that reflect light at different angles, creating that signature glow when the sun hits the surface. The challenge with pearl is that these particles can be heavy and settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them properly, the color will look dull or inconsistent. Because the mica is what gives the paint its depth, you should be aware that thick layers can cause the particles to clump, leading to a finish that looks darker than the factory intended.

Best Practices

Your paint code is located on the silver identification plate inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply Hyundai Indigo Blue Pearl (code 2X/KB), you must shake your container for at least two minutes to ensure the mica is fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching your car. When you begin, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Use thin, light layers and allow plenty of drying time between each one so the pearl reflects light evenly across the repair.
