COLOR CODEQW - Mint Green MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a pure time capsule from the mid-nineties. It defined the early personality of the Accent and Brio, offering a cheerful, high-energy alternative to the sea of beige and gray on the road. Because your car has likely been facing the sun for nearly three decades, the original finish has probably softened into a lighter, more pastel version of its former self. You are not just fixing a scratch; you are preserving a specific era of design.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny reflective flakes that give the car its depth. The biggest risk with a metallic like this is mottling, where the metal bits cluster together and make the repair look dark or blotchy. To prevent this, you have to be careful not to let the paint pool. Metallics require a light touch to ensure those flakes sit evenly across the surface rather than sinking into a heavy puddle.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver or black ID plate located on the firewall inside the engine bay or along the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Mint Green Metallic (check for code QW), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to pull those heavy metallic flakes off the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to see how well it matches your car's current level of fade. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent look. Allow plenty of drying time between your light layers to ensure the finish remains smooth and the metal flakes stay exactly where you put them.
