Hyundai Thunder Gray Metallic (YG7/YG1) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color gives the Kona and Veloster a brooding, urban edge that lighter silvers just cannot match. It sits in that sweet spot of charcoal and slate, making your car look like it was carved from a single block of industrial metal. Since your Hyundai is likely only a few years old, the original finish still has its deep luster, which helps a new application blend in without much fuss. It is a fantastic choice for hiding daily road grime, but because the base is so dark, every little stone chip stands out like a sore thumb.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it relies on thousands of tiny suspended flakes to catch the light. These particles are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you are not careful, the paint can come out looking "mottled" or patchy, where some areas look darker because the flakes bunched up. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Thunder Gray Metallic (check for code YG7/YG1), you must shake the container for at least a full minute. This ensures the metallic bits are floating evenly so they lay flat on the surface rather than clumping into dark streaks.

Best Practices

You will find your specific paint code on the manufacturer sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. When you are ready to begin in your Garage or a Shade area, remember that metallic paints hate thick coats. If you apply it too heavy, the color will look noticeably darker than the factory finish. Instead, apply two or three thin layers and allow for plenty of Drying time between them. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle under your specific Spray distance. Always Keep the container moving to ensure a consistent Flow from the Nozzle or Brush.
