COLOR CODENU5 - Medium BlueHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your 2014 Tucson has been on the road for a decade, this specific shade has likely weathered a few seasons of sun and road salt. This color was a short-lived choice in the Hyundai lineup, appearing briefly as a vibrant, energetic option for drivers who wanted something more expressive than the usual sea of silver and black. It has enough depth to look professional while maintaining a brightness that helps the car stand out in a crowded lot. Because it was only available for such a limited window, you are maintaining a piece of the model's specific history.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch and reflect light. Metallic paints are slightly more temperamental than solid colors because the way those flakes settle determines the final look. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles can clump together, making the repair look darker or muddy compared to the original factory finish. The goal is to build the color in thin, even layers so the metallic sparkle stays uniform across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you apply Hyundai Medium Blue (check for code NU5), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended in the paint. You can verify your color match by looking at the manufacturing sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle before you touch the vehicle. Work in your garage or the shade to keep the surface cool, and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between each thin coat to ensure a flat, even profile.
