Hyundai Creta Touch Up Paint (72 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai clearly decided that the Creta shouldn't just blend into the background. With a massive 75 colors recorded, they really went for it-offering everything from the high-energy Dragon Red and Glowing Yellow Pearl to the more rugged Canyon Copper Metallic. Whether your Creta is rocking a sophisticated Galaxy Blue or a classic Black Noir Pearl, you're driving a car that has a lot more personality than your average commuter.

What to Watch For

Before you dive into your repair, check the driver's side door jamb (on the B-pillar) for a silver or black sticker; your two-to-three-digit paint code is usually hiding in the top right corner. Now, for the reality check: if you own a white Creta, like Polar White or Atlas White, keep a close eye on the roofline and the edges of the hood. These specific shades have a bit of a reputation for "unzipping" or peeling in small sheets if a stone chip gets underneath them. The paint on the front bumper is also a bit on the softer side, meaning it collects road rash (tiny stone chips) like a magnet. Catching these early with a touch-up kit is the best way to keep the "peel" at bay.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics"-like Star Dust Metallic or Scarlet Red Pearl-those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary to wake up the glitter. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill the chip in one big "glob." Instead, use the tip of the brush to dab on a thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. Building the color up in layers requires a little more patience, but it ensures those sparkles sit flat and look like they came straight from the factory.
