COLOR CODEFHM - Hyper Silver MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive tech-forward silver of the early 2010s. When Hyundai launched the fluidic sculpture design for the Sonata and Azera, they needed a color that looked less like standard metal and more like liquid electronics. It was a flagship choice for the Sonata Hybrid because it emphasized the car's aerodynamic lines. While a basic silver hides road grime well, this finish has a brighter, more clinical glow that stays looking sharp even after a decade on the road.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, meaning it relies on microscopic aluminum flakes to catch the light. Because these flakes are heavier than the pigment, they have a habit of sinking to the bottom of your container or clumping together. If you are not careful, you might end up with dark streaks or a mottled finish that looks like zebra stripes. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Hyper Silver Metallic (check for code FHM), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the flakes are suspended evenly so the repair matches the factory brilliance of your door panels.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver or black identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Once you are ready to work, move your car into the garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes lay down before you touch the car. Apply the paint in thin, light layers rather than one thick coat. Between these layers, give the paint enough drying time to lose its wet look. To get the best results, keep the container moving across the repair area to prevent the silver from pooling in one spot.
