COLOR CODE3006 - Passion RedHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is not a subtle color for a wallflower. Since you are driving a 2024 Accent, you already know that this shade is meant to make a compact car feel like a high-end sports sedan. It is a high-energy, deep red that relies on depth rather than just brightness. Because your car is likely quite new, the original finish still has its factory glow, so your repair needs to match that specific vibrance to disappear.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a pearl finish, which is both a blessing and a curse. Those tiny pearl pigments provide the glow, but they are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look like a flat, muddy red that does not catch the light. Red is also naturally translucent, meaning it takes a few layers to build up the right "weight" of color. If you try to do it in one thick coat, the paint might sag or look too dark compared to the rest of the door.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the jamb for a black or silver sticker; your paint code is listed there next to the word Paint. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Passion Red (check for code 3006), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to wake up those pearl particles. Always test the color on the included card before touching the car. Work in a cool garage or the shade to keep the surface temperature down. Apply two or three thin layers rather than one heavy one, and keep the container moving to ensure the pearls lay down evenly. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from looking cloudy.
