RWB - Medium BlueHyundai Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a rare bird in the Hyundai lineup. Since it only appeared on the Tucson for the 2020 model year, your car carries a shade that most people will never see twice. It sits right in that sweet spot between a conservative navy and a loud electric blue. Because your Tucson has been on the road for a few years, the original finish has likely weathered a bit of sun and road grit. This specific blue is excellent at hiding light dust, but it reveals every bit of character when the light hits those metallic flakes.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Medium Blue (check for code RWB), you need to know that this is a Metallic finish. Those tiny flakes of mica and metal are what give the paint its depth, but they are also your biggest challenge. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and make the repair look darker or "mottled" compared to the rest of the door. You want the flakes to lay down flat and even, which requires patience and a light touch to get the shimmer to match the factory panels.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the black pillar near the latch; you will find your code printed on the vehicle identification plate. To get a good match, you must shake your container for at least 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallic paints, as the heavy flakes settle at the bottom quickly. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to ensure the mix is right. When you are ready, work in the shade and apply thin layers. If you are using a can, keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Give each layer enough drying time so it isn't tacky before the next pass, and you will see that factory depth return to your finish.
