Hyundai Ioniq-5 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Hyundai didn't just release a car with the Ioniq-5; they released a rolling mood board. With 28 recorded colors, they really went for the "retro-future" aesthetic. You've got everything from the tech-heavy Cyber Grey and Iron Man Grey to the surprisingly organic Mistic Olive Green and Digital Teal. Whether your car looks like it was forged in a laboratory or grown in a high-tech greenhouse, the variety is impressive-even if half of those options are different ways to say "cool silver."
What to Watch For
The Ioniq-5 has a bit of a "glass chin." Because of that flat, aerodynamic front end, the hood and bumper are prime real estate for highway rock chips. While the paint is beautiful, owners often find it to be a bit on the softer side, meaning those pebbles leave a mark rather easily. If you have one of the matte finishes like Gravity Gold or Shooting Star, you've got a stunning car, but repairs require patience. These matte surfaces don't hide mistakes as well as glossy ones do. To get started, you'll find your paint code on the silver manufacturing sticker inside the driver's side door jamb-look for the word "PAINT" followed by a two or three-character code like SAW or M9U.
Driveway Repair Tip
Before you even touch that paint pen to the car, give the area a quick wipe with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or road film. Since many of these colors-especially the Abyss Black and Lucid Blue-feature heavy pearl or metallic flakes, you need to shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 full seconds to wake up those sparkles. If you're working on a Matte finish, remember: less is more. Apply the paint in one tiny, thin layer just to cover the silver or black of the chip. Don't try to build a "mound" of paint; a flat, thin application will keep that signature low-gloss look without creating a shiny spot.
