Your Paint Color Profile

V7U/V71 - Blue Wave Metallic

The Look

This color was a standout for the 2022 Kona, especially on the N-Line trims where it emphasized the aggressive body lines. It is a punchy, high-energy blue that feels electric compared to the more somber navy tones found on larger SUVs. Because your car is still relatively new, you have a high chance of a successful repair since the factory paint has not yet suffered through a decade of heavy UV fading.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes that reflect light to give the car its depth. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, which is a common issue where those flakes clump together in dark or light spots if the layer is applied too heavily. If the paint pools or goes on too wet, the flakes will sink and shift, making the repair look blotchy or muddy compared to the original factory finish.

Best Practices

Your paint code is located on the silver or black VIN sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply Hyundai Blue Wave Metallic (confirm the code V7U/V71 on your label), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute the metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. When you begin the repair in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving and apply thin layers, allowing for plenty of drying time between each coat to keep the finish consistent and even.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Hyundai's Color Code

Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
