Hyundai Eon Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Hyundai didn't hold back with the Eon, giving this spunky little city car a massive palette of 24 recorded colors. They really went for it with some of the names, too-you've got everything from the high-voltage Electrolyte Green Pearl to the coastal vibes of Clearwater Blue Pearl. Whether your Eon is dressed in the moody Black Noir Pearl or the more business-casual Silverstone Metallic, it's clear Hyundai wanted these cars to stand out in a crowded parking lot.
What to Watch For
Before you start, you'll need your "recipe." Open your driver's side door and look at the center pillar (the B-pillar) for a black or silver sticker. You're looking for a 2 or 3-digit code-something like "NW" or "RHM." Now, a bit of honesty from your Paint Whisperer: the Eon is a tough little worker, but its paint can be a bit thin-skinned. If you own a Century White or Marble White Pearl model, you might notice the paint likes to take a "vacation" by flaking off near the roof or hood. You may also see some fading on the top surfaces if the car spends a lot of time in the sun. Don't panic; catching these spots early with a touch-up kit is exactly how you stop a small flake from becoming a big headache.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Eon colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics" (like that gorgeous Marathon Blue Pearl), those tiny shimmering flakes love to take a nap at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: several thin, translucent layers are much better than one big, thick blob. If the paint seems a bit runny, just give it a moment to tack up on your brush before dabbing it into the chip. Patience is your secret weapon here!
