COLOR CODEMT - Morocco Red PearlHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade takes us back to the late nineties, specifically the era of the Sonata when Hyundai began leaning into a more sophisticated aesthetic. Morocco Red Pearl isn't a loud, aggressive red. It is a deep, moody wine color that looks mature and steady on the road. Since your car has likely seen over two decades of sun and weather, the original finish might have lost some of its depth, but this pearl still has enough character to bring that classic profile back to life.

Technical Details

Because this is a pearl finish rather than a simple solid red, it contains fine mica particles that reflect light at different angles. This gives the paint its signature depth, but it also means you have to be careful with how much you apply. If you dab or spray too heavily in one spot, the pearl particles will bunch up, making the repair look darker or murkier than the rest of the panel. You want to build the color slowly to match the translucency of the factory finish. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Morocco Red Pearl (check for code MT), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those heavy pearl flakes are fully suspended in the liquid.

Best Practices

You will typically find your paint code on a silver sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or occasionally on the firewall inside the engine compartment. To get the best result, always test the color on the included card before touching the car; this helps you see how many layers you need to reach the right shade. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling or creating uneven dark spots. Work in a cool Garage or in the Shade, and allow plenty of drying time between thin layers. If you are using a Pen or a Brush, use light strokes to avoid leaving a visible ridge at the edge of the repair.
