Hyundai Palisade Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't hold back with the Palisade, offering a massive library of 20 colors that range from the sophisticated Moonlight Cloud Pearl to the surprisingly bold Ocado Green Pearl and Robust Emerald Pearl. They really went for it with the naming, too-why settle for "White" when you can have Hyper White Tricoat or Creamy White? Whether you're driving a Rainforest Pearl or Sierra Burgundy, this SUV was designed to look expensive, which makes those inevitable driveway battle scars feel a little more personal.

What to Watch For

The Palisade's paint is a bit like a high-end smartphone: beautiful but delicate. Owners often report that the clear coat is on the softer side, making it a magnet for tiny rock chips that can eventually lead to flaking if left untreated-especially on the hood and the roofline just above the windshield. If you have one of the white shades, keep a close eye on those areas; catching a chip early prevents it from growing into a larger "delamination" project later. To find your specific color match, open the driver's door and look at the jamb for a small silver or black sticker. Your code is usually a two or three-character mix of letters and numbers (like WC9 or RB5).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors are pearls or "tricoats," your secret weapon is the 60-second shake. These paints have tiny metallic and pearl flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen until your arm gets tired, then shake it for another 30 seconds to make sure those sparkles are actually in the paint and not stuck to the glass. When you apply it, resist the urge to fill the whole chip in one go. Using the tip of the brush or a toothpick, apply thin, "whisper-light" layers. It might take three passes to get it level with the rest of the car, but this approach requires more patience and yields a much smoother result than a single thick blob.
