Hyundai Polar White (PYW) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Tucson or Kona wears this shade like a tailored lab coat. It is a crisp, surgical white that defines the sharp, geometric creases found on modern Hyundais. Unlike the creamy whites of the past, this color is neutral and bright, giving the Elantra and Creta a high-tech, minimalist appearance. It is the backbone of the lineup for a reason. It reflects the sun to keep your cabin cool and maintains a fresh, new-car energy even after years of daily driving. While it lacks the glitz of a pearl, it gains a sense of purpose and clarity that makes the black trim on your bumpers and mirrors really pop.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearlescent powders. For you, this is a massive win during a repair because you do not have to worry about the particles "mottling" or laying down at the wrong angle. Solid paints provide the most straightforward match possible. However, the lack of sparkle makes this paint very honest. It will not hide road tar, iron fallout, or salt spray. Because it is a "flat" white underneath the gloss, any uneven thickness in your application will be visible if you are not careful.

Best Practices

You can verify your color info by checking the manufacture sticker located on the driver-side door jamb. Before you apply any Hyundai Polar White (check for code PYW), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. Do not rush the process. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current finish before touching the vehicle. Whether you are using a nozzle or a pen, apply thin, even layers and allow for plenty of drying time between each pass. To avoid heavy ridges or pooling, keep the container moving across the surface at all times. If you are working in a garage or the shade, ensure you have plenty of light to see how the edges of your repair are melting into the original paint.
