Hyundai Lime Rock Green Metallic (NJA) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color screams tuner culture louder than almost any other factory paint from the era. When the Genesis Coupe first hit the streets, this was the hero color that told the world Hyundai was ready to play in the performance market. It is a loud, unapologetic green that transitions from a bright citrus zing in direct light to a deeper, moody forest shade in the evening. Since your car has been on the road for over a decade, you probably appreciate how this finish hides fine dust and road grime better than a flat black or white, keeping that aggressive look even between washes.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish packed with heavy reflective flakes. These particles give the car its signature glow, but they present a specific challenge for repairs. Metallic flakes are heavier than the surrounding pigment and naturally want to sink to the bottom of the container. If they are not suspended evenly, you risk mottling, which creates dark streaks or "tiger stripes" in the finish. This happens when the flakes clump together rather than laying flat and uniform across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Lime Rock Green Metallic (check for code NJA), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to get those metallic flakes moving. You can verify your color match by looking at the VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the light hits the flakes. To get the best result in your garage or shade, keep the container moving constantly and apply the paint in light, thin layers. This prevents the metallic bits from pooling and ensures the sparkle matches the rest of your car. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish set properly before you move on to your clear coat.
