Hyundai White Tricoat (WW2) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 2019 Tucson carries a finish that was designed to elevate the standard SUV into something far more sophisticated. This isn't the flat, refrigerator-white found on work trucks. Instead, it offers a deep, creamy glow that shifts under the light. Because your vehicle has been on the road for several years now, you might notice that while this shade is excellent at hiding light dust, it can be unforgiving if road grime or iron deposits are left to sit on the surface. When it is clean and the sun hits it, the depth of the finish really separates your car from the sea of standard white crossovers in the parking lot.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which is fundamentally different from a standard solid color. Before you spray or dab Hyundai White Tricoat (check for code WW2), you need to understand that it relies on multiple layers to create its signature look. The biggest challenge with a pearl like this is the potential for mottling or uneven "striping" if the metallic particles aren't distributed evenly. If you apply the mid-coat too heavily, the color will shift toward a yellowish tint; too light, and it won't have that signature factory glow. It is a balancing act that requires patience and steady movement.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver identification plate located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you begin the repair in your garage or the shade, you must shake your container for at least a full minute to ensure the pearl flakes are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to see how many layers of the pearl coat you need to match your specific car's age and wear. When applying, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between your light coats, and remember that three thin layers will always look better than one thick, heavy one.
