Your Paint Color Profile

Y2R/Y21 - Pulse Red Pearl

The Look

This color served as the hero for the Hyundai Kona launch. It is a loud, punchy red that leans toward orange when the sun hits the body lines. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for several years, you might notice the original paint has a deep, glass-like quality that catches the light. This red was designed to be energetic and youthful, so it does not hide much; it wants to be noticed in the garage or out on the street.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to create that signature glow. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Pulse Red Pearl (check for code Y2R/Y21), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. These pearl particles are heavier than the red pigment and will settle at the bottom of your container. If they are not mixed, your repair will look like a flat, dull red that does not match the shimmering panels around it. Consistency is the secret to making this color look factory-fresh.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and look at the center pillar for a sticker that lists your paint code. To get the best results, test the color on the included card and hold it up to your car in the light to verify the match. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow of those pearl flakes. Apply thin layers and give the paint plenty of drying time between each pass. This patience prevents the red from pooling and ensures the depth of the pearl matches the rest of the car.

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.
