Hyundai Sierra Burgundy Pearl (W7B) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a heavyweight shade designed to bring a sense of maturity to the larger members of the Hyundai lineup. Whether you are maintaining a Palisade or an i800, you have likely noticed that this color is a bit of a shapeshifter. In the shade or under a cloudy sky, it presents as a deep, nearly-black wine tone, but it truly reveals its character when the sun hits the panels. Because your vehicle has a larger surface area, the transition from dark burgundy to a glowing red-purple is very prominent. Since these models are often used for family trips and heavy commuting, the dark base tends to highlight light-colored stone chips quite clearly, making a precise touch-up necessary to keep the finish looking uniform.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which behaves differently than a standard flat red. The depth comes from microscopic mica particles suspended in the paint that reflect light at various angles. The main risk with this finish is that those particles are heavy and love to clump together or sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix the paint thoroughly, the repair will look like a muddy brown rather than a vibrant burgundy. Furthermore, if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearls will gather and create a dark, mottled patch that ruins the effect. It is better to build the color with several light applications to ensure the light catches those mica flakes evenly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Sierra Burgundy Pearl (check for code W7B), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to fully distribute the pearl particles. You can find your official color ID on a black manufacturer sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually near the latch or the bottom of the pillar. To get the best result, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling in one area. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the mica settles as it dries. Make sure to allow plenty of drying time between your layers, as rushing the process on a dark pearl finish can lead to a soft, uneven texture that will not catch the light correctly.
