Your Paint Color Profile

Y6S/Y7S/YS/T8S/T8T - Platinum Silver Metallic

The Look

Since your Tucson or Elantra has been on the road for a few years, it has faced plenty of road debris and weather. This silver was a standard choice for Hyundai between 2014 and 2019 because it has a talent for hiding road grime. It provides a sharp, mechanical feel that complements the modern lines of the Ioniq or the ix35. This is a practical color that maintains its luster well over time, making it a reliable partner for a daily driver that does not get washed every single weekend.

Technical Details

This finish is metallic, meaning it contains small particles that catch the light to create depth. These flakes are heavy and tend to settle at the bottom of the paint. If you do not mix the paint well, the repair will appear darker or muddier than the rest of the car. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Platinum Silver Metallic (check for code Y6S/Y7S/YS/T8S/T8T), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the flakes are distributed throughout the liquid so the repair reflects light the same way as the factory paint.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the black identification sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before starting the repair, test the color on the included card to check the match. Work in your garage or some shade to keep the car surface cool to the touch. Apply the paint in thin layers instead of a single heavy coat. Keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. If the paint gets too thick in one spot, the metallic flakes bunch up and create dark shadows. Allow enough drying time between layers to reach a level finish that blends with the original panels.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Hyundai's Color Code

Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
