Hyundai Misty Olive Pearl (SK7) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Elantra GT or Elantra carries a shade that was only around for a brief window, making it a rare sight on the road today. This color is a sophisticated, earth-toned green that feels more like a high-end European import than a standard commuter paint. Because your car has likely spent a decade facing the sun and road grit, the original finish might look a little more muted than it did on the showroom floor. It is a fantastic color for hiding dust, but it requires a careful touch to restore that original depth.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid color. Instead of simple pigments, it uses microscopic mica particles to refract light, creating a glow that shifts as you walk around the car. The biggest risk with a pearl finish is "mottling," where the mica bunches up and creates dark or light spots. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the shimmer will look uneven compared to the rest of the panel. You want light to pass through the layers and bounce off those particles evenly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Misty Olive Pearl (check for code SK7), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the mica is fully suspended. You can find your paint code on the silver identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to confirm the shade matches your current level of fade. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the metal cool. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving at all times. Use light, thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them to prevent the pearl from sagging or looking muddy.
