Hyundai Sky Blue Metallic (2B) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This breezy shade defined the personality of the Accent and Verna during the mid-2000s. It is a light, approachable blue that captures the optimistic aesthetic of that era. Since your car has likely spent more than a decade on the road, the finish has probably weathered the sun and salt of many seasons. While this color is excellent at masking light road dust, the metallic components can make a fresh repair stand out against older, oxidized panels. A good cleaning of the surrounding area will help the new paint blend with the history of your car.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning the paint is packed with tiny flakes that provide its characteristic shimmer. These metallic particles are heavier than the pigment and will settle at the bottom of the reservoir if left sitting. If the flakes are not suspended, the color will appear darker and flatter than it should. You also want to avoid piling the paint on too thick in one pass. If the paint pools, the flakes will cluster together and create a blotchy effect known as mottling, which ruins the illusion of a factory finish.

Best Practices

You will find your identification plate on the driver's side door jamb, which confirms your specific shade. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Sky Blue Metallic (check for code 2B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing stage is vital to get those metallic flakes moving. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to ensure the match is right for your aged finish. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the paint lands in thin, even layers. Allow enough drying time between these layers so the finish can build up a deep, consistent glow without sagging.
