Hyundai XG300 Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Back in the early 2000s, Hyundai was trying to prove the XG300 could hang with the luxury heavyweights, and they brought a surprisingly sophisticated palette to the fight. We've tracked 9 distinct colors for this model, and they really leaned into the "premium" vibe. You've got deep, moody tones like Canton Cherry Pearl and Prime Green Pearl, alongside the more executive Urban Grey Metallic. They even dipped into nature with the Celadon Green Metallic. It's a list that says, "I have a leather interior and I'm not afraid to use it."

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. If you're driving an XG300 today, you've probably noticed that the clear coat is a bit of a sensitive soul. These cars are known for "sun-burn"-where the top clear layer starts to flake or peel, especially on the hood and roof. If you have the White Pearl Tricoat, you might even see the paint peeling back in small chips to reveal the primer underneath. Don't panic; it's just the car showing its age. To find your specific match, pop the driver's side door and look for a small sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a two- or three-character code (like "EB" for Ebony Black). If it's not there, check the firewall under the hood, right behind the engine.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many XG300 colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics," my best advice is to treat your touch-up bottle like a maraca. Those tiny metallic flakes and pearl pigments love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-I'm serious, set a timer-to get the sparkles back into the mix. When you apply it, resist the urge to fill a chip in one go. If you put on one big blob, it'll look like a mountain on your hood. Instead, dab on a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and come back for a second pass. Patience is your best tool here; those multi-stage colors like the White Pearl require a steady hand and a "less is more" attitude to get that factory glow back.
