Kia K900 Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

thought I will search for common Kia K900 paint problems, specifically looking for peeling, fading, or soft clear coat issues. Then, I will look for the paint code location specific to the Kia K900 to ensure accuracy for the user. Finally, I will answer the user's request by writing the "Paint Profile" for the Kia K900 following the PAS framework and the specified tone, structure, and "no-go" list.

The Color Breakdown

The Kia K900 was Kia's way of telling the world they could do "luxury" just as well as the Germans, and they brought the color palette to prove it. With 13 recorded colors, they leaned heavily into the "executive" aesthetic-think of it as 50 shades of sophisticated grey. You've got everything from the classic Snow White Tricoat and Aurora Black Pearl to the slightly more adventurous Marsala Pearl and Celestial Blue Pearl. They really went for it with those pearl finishes, giving this heavy hitter a sparkle that looks like a million bucks when the sun hits it just right.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, head over to your driver's side door jamb. You'll find a silver or black sticker with a two- or three-letter code (like SWP for Snow White or ABP for Aurora Black). That is your North Star. Now, here is the honest truth: Kia paint is notoriously "polite," which is code for "it's a bit soft." This means the nose of your K900 is likely a magnet for road debris, and the clear coat can be sensitive to the elements. If you see tiny white craters on your hood or front bumper, don't panic-it's just the car showing its age, and it is entirely fixable in your driveway.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many K900 colors are "Pearls" or "Tricoats," your touch-up bottle is basically a tiny science experiment. The "magic" (the mica and metallic flakes) likes to settle at the bottom. Give that bottle or pen a vigorous shake for a full two minutes-yes, time it-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply it, think "less is more." Instead of one giant glob that looks like a grape, dab a tiny bit of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's still a little shallow once it dries, just add another thin layer. This requires patience, but it's the secret to making that repair disappear.
