2015 Hyundai Touch Up Paint (107 OEM Colors)

The 2015 Hyundai Vibe

2015 was the year Hyundai decided to give the people everything they wanted-and a few things they didn't know they needed. Whether you were cruising in a Sonata, feeling sporty in a Veloster, or pretending you were in a European saloon with the Genesis, the variety was staggering. Our database alone tracks 107 distinct colors for this year. While most of the world was stuck in a "Grayscale Fever" of Century White and Sleek Silver, Hyundai was out there throwing Vitamin C Pearl, Electrolyte Green, and Atomic Orange at anything with four wheels. It was a colorful time to be alive, provided you weren't one of the thousands who just picked "Rental Car White" and called it a day.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2015, the factory robots had become masters of "efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying they started applying paint with the thickness of a soap bubble. These cars look great on the showroom floor, but they're prone to road rash-those tiny, stinging rock chips that pepper your hood like buckshot. But the real ghost in the machine for 2015? Delamination. If you're driving a white Elantra or Sonata, you've probably seen it: the paint doesn't just chip; it decides to part ways with the car in giant flakes, usually starting right above the windshield or on the roof. It's not a slow fade; it's an identity crisis where the paint simply forgets how to stick to the primer.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2015 Hyundai, you have to respect the thinness. This isn't the 70s where you could slop on a quarter-inch of lacquer and sand it flat. If you've got a chip, build your layers slowly. Don't try to fill the crater in one go or you'll end up with a "blob" that sits higher than the factory finish. More importantly, if you see the edges of your paint starting to lift or "halo," seal them immediately with a precision applicator. Once the air gets under that thin factory clear coat, it'll peel back faster than a bad sunburn. Seal it early, build it thin, and keep it out of the brush-style car washes if you want that Arabian Mocha Pearl to actually stay on the car.
