Hyundai Ioniq Touch Up Paint (29 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't just release a car with the Ioniq; they released a 29-shade manifesto on the future of commuting. We've recorded a massive variety of finishes, ranging from the sophisticated Black Noir Pearl and Stellar Silver Metallic to the "look at me, I'm electric" vibes of Phoenix Orange Pearl and Intense Blue. They really went for it with the naming, too-Iron Man Grey makes you feel like you're driving a superhero's daily commuter, while Chalky Brown Pearl is, well, exactly what it says on the tin. Whether you're driving a sensible hybrid or a futuristic starship, there is a lot of pigment to play with here.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need a quick huddle on the Hyundai "specialties." If you own one of the Ceramic White or Atlas White models, keep a close eye on the leading edge of the hood and the roofline. These shades have a bit of a reputation for "early retirement," where the paint decides it wants to peel away from the primer. If you see a small chip, fix it immediately to seal the edges and prevent it from growing into a larger problem. Also, the Ioniq's flat nose is a magnet for road debris, so expect plenty of tiny "flea bites" on the front bumper.

Finding your code: Don't go hunting in the trunk. Open your driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb. You're looking for a small 2 or 3-character alphanumeric code (like S3 or TW3) located right next to the word "PAINT."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Ioniq colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics," your biggest challenge isn't the color-it's the gravity. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should be tired) to wake up those sparkles. When applying, use the "dab, don't brush" method. If you have a pearl white, the color builds in layers; it's better to apply two or three very thin coats rather than one big, thick blob. Patience is your best friend here-let each layer dry so the flakes can lay flat and catch the light correctly.
