XJ - Azure Blue Hyundai Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your 1995 Hyundai has survived three decades on the road, matching this rare shade is a specialized task. Azure Blue was a short-lived option that appeared on everything from the Accent to the Sonata for just one year. It is a deep, nostalgic blue that captures the exact moment Hyundai began to find its design language in the mid-90s. Because of its age, your original finish has likely weathered under the sun, so this repair is about preserving a rare piece of the brand's history.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains fine particles that give the paint its depth and sparkle. These particles are sensitive to how you apply them. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic flakes sink and make the repair look darker or splotchy. If you go too light, the finish can look dry and lose its shine. You want to achieve a steady flow that allows the flakes to lay flat and catch the light the same way the factory finish does.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Azure Blue (check for code XJ), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. You can usually find your code on a silver sticker located on the driver side door jamb or tucked away on the firewall under the hood. When you are ready to work in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving to avoid buildup. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish sets correctly. Always test the color on the included card first to ensure the match is right for your car's current condition.
