Where to find Kia color code

How to Find Your 2001 Kia's Color Code

Kia codes are easy to find as they are always on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: B3. Example mapping: B3 Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. Same Color Code, Different Name: Kia, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many models and then will have a different color name for each model. This is why the color code is so important to order the correct paint. For example, B3, above we call Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Blue Clearcoat, Light Mist Clearcoat, etc.

2001 Kia Background Info

The 2001 Kia Vibe

Welcome to 2001-the year Kia was moving from "who are these guys?" to "wait, that Sportage is actually kind of cool." It was the era of the Nokia 3310 and the dawn of silver-everything. Our database shows 12 colors for this year, and they perfectly capture that turn-of-the-millennium energy. You had the essentials like Clear White and Ebony Black, but the real stars were the metallic neutrals. Pewter Gray Metallic and Stone Beige Metallic were the "I have a cell phone" colors of the day-high-tech and understated. If you were feeling bold in your Spectra or Rio, you grabbed Classic Red or Olive Green Pearl. And let's not forget those rugged two-tone combos on the Sportage; nothing said "ready for the suburbs" like a two-tone Ebony Black over gray.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real. We are firmly in The Peeling Era. By 2001, Kia was using a standard basecoat/clearcoat system, but the early clear coats on budget-friendly models weren't exactly built for eternity. If your 2001 Sportage has spent its life outside, you're likely staring at "delamination"-that lovely phenomenon where the clear coat starts to flake off like a bad sunburn, especially on the hood and roof. Once the clear lifts, the base color underneath is defenseless. If you see white, chalky edges around a rock chip, that's the clear coat losing its grip. It's a race against time before your Midnight Black Metallic turns into a map of peeling islands.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a 2001 Kia looking decent is "edge control." In this era, the clear coat is the weak link. If you get a rock chip, don't wait. When air and moisture get under the edge of that clear coat, it starts to lift, and once it starts, it doesn't stop. The Fix: When you touch up a chip, make sure your paint overlaps the surrounding clear coat just a hair. You're essentially "gluing" the edges of the clear back down to the primer. Seal it early, seal it tight, and you might just keep that Classic Red from looking like a 20-year-old trade-in.
