COLOR CODESAW/SW1 - Atlas WhiteHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the ultimate modern white. It lacks the creamy or yellow undertones of older paints, giving your Ioniq or Kona a clinical, high-tech appearance that looks like it belongs in a laboratory. Because it is a crisp, bright shade, it highlights the sharp body lines of the Veloster perfectly. Since your Hyundai has likely been on the road for a year or two, you will notice this color stays looking new longer than darker shades, though it will never hide a layer of road salt or mud.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a massive win for your repair project. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes standing up or looking "splotchy" under the light. The match is usually very reliable because there is no shimmer to align. The trade-off is that solid whites are unforgiving with surface preparation. Any dust or lint trapped under the paint will stand out. Because there is no depth from pearl or mica, your focus must be on keeping the surface level and smooth to maintain that factory shine.

Best Practices

Open your driver side door and look at the black sticker on the jamb to confirm your code. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Atlas White (check for code SAW/SW1), you need to shake the container for a full minute to ensure the heavy white pigments are totally suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how it looks once dry. When applying, use multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat. If you are using a spray, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid drips. If you are using a pen or brush, dab the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges naturally. Give each layer plenty of drying time before you apply the clear coat to seal the repair.
