COLOR CODEOX - Lavender Blue MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a pure 1990s time capsule. While your car has likely been on the road for three decades, this soft, violet-tinted blue still carries the optimistic spirit of that era. It was a popular choice across the lineup, appearing on the Sonata, Elantra, and the sporty Scoupe. It is not a loud color, but it has a specific, airy personality that shifts between a cool blue and a warm lavender depending on the time of day. Because your paint has likely weathered since the mid-90s, the fresh pigment in your hands might look a bit more vibrant than the original finish, especially if the car spent years under the sun.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to catch the light. Metallics are notorious for "mottling," a fancy way of saying the color can look blotchy or striped if the flakes don't lay down evenly. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those tiny particles will clump together and make the area look darker and muddy. You want a light, even touch to keep the shimmer consistent. Since it is a metallic from the 1994-1995 era, it requires a clear topcoat to achieve the correct depth and protection; without it, the blue will look dull and the metal flakes will feel gritty to the touch.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Lavender Blue Metallic (check for code OX), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly suspend those heavy metallic flakes. You can usually find your identification plate on the firewall under the hood or on the driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card to see how it matches the current fade of your car. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between light layers. Work in a cool garage or a patch of shade, as direct heat can make the paint dry too fast and ruin the metallic flow.
