Kia Megentis Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Kia definitely didn't play it safe with the Megentis. With 11 recorded colors, they really went for it, offering everything from the woodsy Olive Green Pearl to the bold Magenta Red Pearl. Whether you're rocking the stealthy Ebony Black or the shimmering Imperial Blue Pearl, this car was designed to catch the light-and occasionally a few stares in the grocery store parking lot.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk reality. While these colors look great, Kia's paint from this era can be a little sensitive. Keep a close eye on your door handles and the leading edge of the hood; paint tends to bubble or chip there more than on other sedans. If you have one of the lighter shades like Pearl White Pearl Tricoat, watch for the clear coat getting a bit "flaky" on the roof. To make sure you've got the exact match for your driveway fix, open your driver's side door and look at the jamb (the B-pillar). There's a sticker there with your paint code-it's the DNA of your car's finish.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most Megentis colors-like Steel Blue Metallic or Ruby Red Metallic-are packed with pearl and metallic flakes, your biggest challenge isn't the color, it's the gravity. Those tiny sparkles love to settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle. Shake that bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake those sparkles up. When you apply it, don't try to fill the chip in one heavy go. Use light, thin layers and give them 10 minutes to dry in between. It requires a little patience, but it's the difference between a smooth finish and a lumpy "oops" spot.
