Hyundai Accent Touch Up Paint (60 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't just pick colors for the Accent; they raided the entire spice rack and a tech start-up's pantry. With 60 colors on record, they really went for it-giving us everything from the punchy Vitamin C Pearl and Electrolyte Green to the sophisticated Coffee Bean Pearl and Chai Bronze. Whether your Accent is "Stark Grey" or "Pomegranate Red," your car has personality, even if it's currently wearing a few battle scars from the grocery store parking lot.

What to Watch For

Now, the honest truth: Hyundai paint from this era can be a bit... dramatic. If you have a white or pearl-colored Accent (like Chalk White or White Pearl Tricoat), you might notice the paint wanting to "socially distance" itself from the car. It's common to see it flake off in chips or even small sheets, especially on the hood or roof. The clear coat can also get a bit brittle, sometimes peeling off like a bad sunburn.

Before you start, you need your secret weapon: the paint code. You'll find it on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Look for a label with the word "PAINT" followed by a two or three-digit code (like "W1" or "P9R"). That code is your North Star for getting the right bottle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Accent colors are Pearls or Metallics (looking at you, Marathon Blue), those tiny flakes of sparkle like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles.

If you're dealing with a spot that's starting to peel at the edges, use your fingernail or a plastic toothpick to gently flick away any bits that are already loose. If you paint over a "loose" edge, the new paint will just lift right off with the old stuff. Apply your paint in thin, dainty layers rather than one big glob. If it's a pearl color, it requires patience; let the first layer dry completely before adding a second to build up that factory glow.
