1995 Hyundai Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 1995 Hyundai Vibe

Welcome to 1995-the year of the Macarena, the launch of the original PlayStation, and the era when Hyundai was scrappily fighting for its life in the North American market. If you were rolling in an Elantra or the then-new Accent, you were making a statement: you cared more about a 10-year warranty than a prestige badge. While the 90s were technically famous for "Cool Teal" and "Wild Orchid" paint jobs that looked like a paper cup at a bowling alley, our database focuses on the true survivors: Ebony Black and Noble White. These were the workhorse colors for the budget-conscious commuter who just needed to get to work without the engine-or the paint-giving up the ghost.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in The Peeling Era. By 1995, Hyundai had fully embraced the basecoat/clearcoat system, but the chemistry hadn't quite caught up to the scorching sun of the Sunbelt. If you're looking at an original '95 Sonata or Scoupe today, you're likely seeing "The Sunburn Effect." That's where the clear coat decides it's had enough of this life and starts flaking off in translucent sheets, leaving the color underneath looking flat, chalky, and unprotected. It's called delamination, and once the air gets between that clear layer and the pigment, it spreads faster than a rumor in a high school hallway.

Restoration Tip

If you've got a survivor that hasn't started "balding" on the roof yet, your motto is: Seal chips immediately. In this era of paint, a tiny rock chip isn't just an eyesore; it's an invitation for moisture and air to get under the clear coat and start the lifting process. Grab a touch-up pen and seal those battle scars before the edges of the clear coat have a chance to curl. If you're already seeing that white, flaky lifting, don't just paint over the loose stuff-you've got to carefully sand back the "dead skin" of the clear coat until you hit a firm edge, or your new repair will just peel off along with the old factory finish.
