Hyundai i800 Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't just give the i800 a paint job; they gave it a personality. We have 8 colors on record for this versatile giant, and the names are surprisingly poetic for a vehicle that usually spends its life doing the heavy lifting. You've got the dark and brooding Becketts Black Pearl, the earthy Rainforest Pearl, and the undeniably classy Moonlight Cloud Pearl. They really went for it with the descriptions-it's as if they wanted your airport shuttle to look like it was carved out of a gemstone.

What to Watch For

First things first: you need your "secret recipe" code. On the i800, you'll almost always find it on a sticker or plate inside the driver's door jamb. If it's not there, pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Now, for the reality check: if you're driving a Hyper White Tricoat, you might notice the paint wanting to "vacation" away from the metal, especially on the roof or hood. This is a known quirk where the layers get a bit shy and start to peel. Also, because the i800 has the aerodynamics of a very handsome brick, the front edge of the hood is a magnet for stone chips. Catch them early before the weather decides to turn those chips into bigger flakes.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these colors-like Sierra Burgundy Pearl or Lagoon Silver-contain pearl or metallic flakes, they require a bit of "muscle." Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds (time it!) to wake them up. When applying, think "thin and patient." If you have a deep chip, don't try to fill it in one go. Drip a tiny amount in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and come back for a second layer. For the Hyper White Tricoat, the middle "pearl" layer can be sneaky; apply it sparingly to keep the color from looking too dark compared to the rest of the van.
