Hyundai Light Green (VD) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color belongs to a very specific moment in the mid-2000s when your Accent or Brio was fresh on the scene. It is a bright, optimistic green that avoids the heavy forest tones of the nineties and the sterile grays of today. Since this was a relatively limited run, you are driving a piece of history that most people have forgotten. Because your car has likely been braving the elements for over twenty years, the original finish might have mellowed, but the distinctive character of this shade remains unmistakable.

Technical Details

The finish is a metallic basecoat, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light and add depth. These particles are much heavier than the green pigment itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container while sitting on a shelf. If they are not properly mixed, you will end up with a finish that looks blotchy or darker than the original. This metallic nature makes the color look different from various angles, so getting those flakes to lie flat is the key to a professional result.

Best Practices

You can verify your color match by checking the manufacturing sticker inside the driver-side door jamb or on the firewall behind the engine. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Light Green (check for code VD), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card first to see how the light reacts with the finish. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the paint flows evenly across the surface. Let each layer have enough drying time in a shaded garage so you do not disturb the metallic layout with your next pass.
