Hyundai i10 Touch Up Paint (59 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai clearly didn't get the memo that the i10 is a "small" car, because they've packed it with a massive wardrobe of 59 recorded colors. We're talking about everything from the stoic Carbon Gray Metallic to the surprisingly poetic Morning Glory. And let's not ignore Baby Elephant-apparently, someone in the design department had a very specific, wrinkly shade of grey in mind. Whether you're rocking the Phantom Black Pearl or the punchy Golden Orange, they really went for it with the variety.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop open your driver's side door. You are looking for a silver or black manufacturing sticker on the door jamb (the B-pillar) that lists a 2 or 3-digit paint code, such as "PHW" or "S3." Now, the reality check: Hyundai paint, particularly on the i10, is known for being a bit thin and "soft." If you have one of the popular white shades like Polar White, keep a close eye on the hood and roof. These colors can sometimes have commitment issues where the paint wants to peel away in small flakes. If you see a chip, treat it as a priority-sealing it early with your touch-up kit is the best way to keep that "peel" from spreading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many i10 colors are high-sparkle pearls or metallics (like Indigo Blue Pearl or Sleek Silver), your secret weapon is "The Long Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle like heavy sand. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-way longer than you think you need-to wake up the sparkles. When you apply it, don't try to fill the crater with one big blob. Use a tiny amount and build it up in two thin layers. It requires a little patience, but it ensures your repair won't look like a dark spot on your "Baby Elephant."
