How to Find Your 1990 Hyundai's Color Code

Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat.

1990 Hyundai Background Info

The 1990 Hyundai Vibe

Welcome to 1990, the year Hyundai was trying to prove they weren't just the "cheap alternative" anymore. The Pony Excel was cluttering every mall parking lot in North America, and the Sonata was making its play for the suburban driveway. The palette was actually pretty sophisticated for a budget brand-we're talking Platinum Sage Metallic and Dark Cherry Red Pearl. These weren't just flat colors; they were trying to give you that high-end shimmer for a fraction of the sticker price. It was the era of "sensible luxury," even if the interior plastic felt like a recycled lunch tray.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold truth: 1990 was the heart of the Peeling Era. Manufacturers had figured out how to make paint look deep and glossy using basecoat/clearcoat systems, but they hadn't quite mastered the UV protection. If your 1990 Hyundai has been sitting outside for thirty years, it likely has what I call "The Great Delamination." The clear coat on the roof, hood, and trunk starts to look like a bad sunburn-first it turns chalky, then it starts flaking off in sheets. Once that clear lifts, the metallic base underneath is left naked to the elements, and it'll dull faster than a rusty butter knife.

Restoration Tip

If you've still got original clear coat left, you're sitting on a miracle-don't waste it. My advice? Seal every chip immediately. In this era, a rock chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for air and moisture to get between the clear and the base. Once the clear starts to "bridge" or lift around the edges of a chip, it's only a matter of time before it peels back like a banana skin. Use a high-solid touch-up to bridge that gap and keep the edges pinned down. And for the love of all that is holy, keep it out of the midday sun; these early clears can't handle the UV like the modern stuff.
