Hyundai Transmission Blue Pearl (NY9) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This isn't your average sky blue. It is a chameleon that feels right at home on the futuristic curves of the Ioniq-6 or the sharp lines of a newer Sonata. In the shade or on a cloudy day, it presents as a solid, milky slate that mimics the "clean" look popular in modern performance cars. Once the sun hits your Elantra, the character changes entirely as the pearl layer wakes up to reveal a soft, metallic glow. It is a sharp choice that hides road dust well but demands a clean finish to really show off that hidden depth.

Technical Details

Because this is a pearl finish, you are dealing with more than just pigment. There are tiny translucent flakes suspended in the paint that catch the light at different angles. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch up and create dark, cloudy patches that look uneven. You want to focus on even coverage to ensure the metallic effect is consistent across the repair. Since your car is a newer model, the original finish still has its factory depth, so your goal is to build the color in stages rather than trying to cover a scratch in one heavy pass.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look at the manufacturer's sticker on the driver's side door jamb; the code is usually listed right next to the word PAINT. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Transmission Blue Pearl (check for code NY9), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to mix those pearl particles. Test the color on the included card to see how the light reacts to the finish before you touch the vehicle. When you begin, keep the container moving at a steady pace and use light, thin layers. Provide plenty of drying time between passes to prevent the paint from sagging or trapping air.
