Kia Stinger Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Kia clearly didn't want the Stinger to blend into the background. With a total of 17 colors recorded, they really went for it, offering everything from the sophisticated Ceramic Silver Metallic to the head-turning HiChroma Red Tricoat and the punchy Bright Yellow. Whether you're driving a moody Aurora Black Pearl or the regal Ascot Green Pearl, your car was designed to make a statement-which makes those inevitable driveway battle scars all the more annoying.

What to Watch For

The Stinger is a performance beast, but its skin can be a little sensitive. Owners often find that the factory finish is on the "softer" side, meaning the hood and front bumper are magnets for tiny rock chips from highway sprints. If you see small bubbles or peeling near the door handles or roof drip rails, don't panic-it's a known quirk of the clear coat that you can catch early. To get started, you'll find your paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. It's usually a three-character code (like H4R or C4S) that tells the bottle exactly which "flavor" of Kia it's holding.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because many of these shades-especially Snow White Tricoat and HiChroma Red-are deep pearls or multi-stage colors, they require a little extra "wake-up" time. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds (longer than you think!) to get those metallic flakes dancing and evenly distributed. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big blob to fill a hole, dab in two or three very thin layers, letting them dry in between. It's the best way to keep that sporty finish looking factory-fresh without the professional price tag.
