Hyundai Sonata Touch Up Paint (187 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't just pick a palette for the Sonata; they basically threw a dart at a spinning color wheel for three decades. With 192 colors on the books, they really went for it. You aren't just driving a silver car; you're likely driving Sleek Silver, Curated Silver, or even the futuristic Aero Silver Matt. Between the deep, moody Canton Cherry Pearl and the "is-it-gray-or-is-it-blue" Biophillic Blue Pearl, the Sonata lineup is a testament to the fact that Hyundai refuses to let a single shade of the rainbow go unnamed. Whether you have a classic Noble White or the high-drama Black Noir Pearl, there is a lot of personality packed into these finishes.

What to Watch For

If you're driving a white, silver, or blue Sonata from the last decade, you might have noticed the paint occasionally tries to "retire" early by flaking off the roof or hood in small chunks. This isn't your fault-it's a known quirk where the paint and the primer sometimes decide they need some space from each other. Before you start your repair, find your 2-digit paint code. It's hiding in plain sight on the driver's side door jamb on that black manufacturing sticker. Look for the word "PAINT" or a 2-3 character code like "WW8" or "Y3N." If it's not there, check the front of the radiator support, but 99% of the time, that door jamb is your North Star.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Hyundai loves their pearls and metallics (we see you, Shimmering White Pearl), your touch-up bottle is basically a tiny snow globe. Those sparkles settle at the bottom, so shake that bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up the mica. If you're dealing with a spot where the paint has flaked, use a toothpick to gently "map out" the edge of the chip to make sure no more loose paint is waiting to bail out. When applying, think of it like nail polish: multiple thin layers are your best friend. A single thick blob will just look like a lonely mountain on your hood, but three thin coats will lay down flat and pretty.
