Hyundai All Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Hyundai didn't just stick to the script; they really went for it with a palette of 61 recorded colors. While you have your stalwarts like Ebony Black and Noble White, they also threw some absolute curveballs into the mix. We're talking about Peacock Green Metallic, Chameleon Metallic, and the oddly poetic Bell Flower. Whether your car looks like a sophisticated business lounge or a tropical reef, Hyundai's color library has a personality for every driveway.
What to Watch For
If you're driving a white or pearl-colored Hyundai, you might have noticed the paint has a bit of a "commitment issue"-specifically, it likes to peel off in sheets on the hood or roof. This isn't your fault; it's a known quirk where the paint decides it's done being attached to the car. Beyond the peeling, Hyundai clear coats can be a bit on the softer side, making them prone to rock chips that, if left alone, can turn into little bubbling "rust freckles." To find your specific matching code, pop open the driver's door and look for a black or silver sticker on the door jamb. You're looking for a simple two-character code like "NW" or "EB." If you have an older model like an Excel, check the center of the firewall under the hood.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Hyundai colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics-looking at you, Platinum Sage-you need to give that touch-up bottle a workout. Shake it for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up the metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush or pen to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the paint has already started to peel, make sure you gently pick away any loose flakes before you start, or you're just painting a "Band-Aid" that's going to fall off next week. Patience is your best friend here; two thin coats will always look better than one big, gloppy mountain of paint.
