Hyundai Elantra GT Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Hyundai didn't hold back with the Elantra GT, recording a staggering 24 colors for this stylish hatchback. They really leaned into the "earthy and elegant" vibe, giving us everything from the sophisticated Chai Bronze Metallic to the surprisingly literal Mushroom. Whether you're rocking the deep Indigo Night Pearl or the punchy Red Geranium, your car was designed to stand out in a parking lot full of boring rentals.
What to Watch For
The Elantra GT has a bit of a reputation for "thin" factory paint, meaning road debris can sometimes treat your hood like a snack. If you're driving one of the white varieties-like Creamy White or Shimmering White Pearl-keep a close eye on the roof and the edges of the hood, as these spots are known for occasional peeling or flaking. To find your specific color match, open your driver's side door and look at the black manufacturing sticker on the jamb; you'll see a two or three-character "Paint" code (like TW or SWP) right there.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are "Pearls" (like Midnight Black Pearl or Atlantic Blue Pearl), your biggest secret weapon is the shake. You need to shake that touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds to wake up the metallic flakes and pearls that settled at the bottom. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Use a tiny dab-just enough to cover the metal-and let it dry. If the chip is still a "crater," wait 20 minutes and add a second tiny layer. It requires a bit of patience, but thin layers look 100% better than a big, obvious blob.
