Kia EV9 Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Kia really went for it with the EV9, recording a staggering 16 colors that range from the sophisticated Aurora Black Pearl to the adventurous Iceberg Green. They even leaned into the future with "Matt" and "Semi Gloss" finishes like Ocean Blue Matt and Ivory Silver Matt. Whether you're driving the stealthy Panthera Metal or the vibrant Flare Red Metallic, your driveway is currently playing host to one of the most diverse color palettes in the electric SUV world.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth: the EV9's paint is a bit "polite." By that, I mean it's notoriously soft. Owners often find that the massive, upright front end acts like a magnet for stone chips, and the clear coat can be sensitive to scratches. You might also notice the paint on the front grill area being a little delicate. To get started on a fix, open your driver-side door and look at the jamb; you'll find a sticker with a two- or three-digit code (like ABP for Aurora Black or IEB for Iceberg Green). That code is your North Star for getting the right match.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Kia uses a lot of high-tech pearls and metallics, those tiny flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles. If you are working on one of the Matt or Semi Gloss finishes, matching the texture requires patience. The secret is to apply the paint in very thin, whisper-light layers. For a stone chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go; build it up slowly, letting it dry between passes, so the color stays flat and flush with the rest of your beautiful EV9.
