COLOR CODER9S - Curated Silver MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Ioniq-6 or Sonata was designed to look like a piece of high-end hardware, and this finish is the liquid metal skin that brings that vision to life. This isn't the dull silver found on rental cars from a decade ago. It is a sharp, technical color that emphasizes the "Streamliner" curves of your car. Since your vehicle is relatively new, the existing paint hasn't had much time to fade, which makes your repair much more likely to blend into the original finish.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on thousands of tiny suspended flakes to reflect light. Silver is famously difficult because if those flakes don't lay down flat, you will see dark shadows or stripes in the repair area. If the paint is applied too thick, the flakes sink and bunch together, ruining the illusion of a solid metal surface. You want the flakes to stay near the surface so they can catch the sun at the same angle as the rest of your door or bumper.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Curated Silver Metallic (check for code R9S), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic particles. You can find your paint code on the manufacturing sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic grain looks once it dries. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the surface. Work in your garage or in the shade, and give each layer enough drying time so the finish stays crisp rather than getting cloudy.
