Kia Ceed Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Kia Ceed is a sensible car that clearly enjoys a rainy Tuesday. With 10 recorded colors, Kia stayed true to the "Executive Metallic" vibe, offering everything from Platinum Graphite Metallic to the surprisingly adventurous Pluto Brown Metallic (which, let's be honest, is probably where that downgraded planet went to hide). You've also got the heavy hitters like Aurora Black Pearl and Snow White Tricoat. It's a sophisticated palette, but it's one that requires a steady hand when the road starts throwing pebbles back at you.

What to Watch For

Before you pop the cap on your touch-up bottle, you need to find your "Paint" code. Open your driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the frame where the door latches). You'll see a black sticker with a 2 or 3-digit code-something like SWP or ABP.

Now, here is the honest truth: Kia paint is famously "polite," which is another way of saying it's a bit soft. You're likely looking at this because your hood or front bumper has more "pepper spots" (stone chips) than a baked potato. Keep a close eye on the plastic bumpers, too; the paint there can sometimes get a little shy and start to peel at the corners where it meets the metal. It's nothing you can't handle, but catch those spots early before they decide to grow.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with Snow White Tricoat or any of the Pearl finishes, those sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for a full 60 seconds-yes, time it-to wake up the metallic flakes. When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like painting your nails: one thin layer to cover the metal, let it dry for 15 minutes, then a second tiny dab to bring it level. If you go too heavy with a "blob," the metallic flakes won't lay flat and the color will look darker than the rest of the car. Patience is your best friend here!
