COLOR CODEPJW - Pure WhiteHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

For several years, this was the defining shade for the i10 and i20, giving these nimble city cars a sharp and modern appearance. It is a bright, clinical white that lacks the creamy or yellowish undertones often found on older vehicles. Since your Hyundai has likely spent its life navigating tight parking spots and narrow streets, you probably have a few stone chips or scratches to deal with. This color is excellent at masking those small imperfections from a distance, but it demands your full attention during the repair if you want the finish to look right up close.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it lacks the metallic flakes or pearl pigments found in more expensive paint options. While this makes color matching much easier, it presents a unique challenge regarding surface texture. Without any sparkle to distract the eye, every high spot, ridge, or sanding mark will stand out. On the other hand, you do not have to worry about the paint looking darker from one angle than another, which is a common headache when working with silver or grey cars. It provides heavy coverage and hides dark primer quickly.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Pure White (check for code PJW), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get the heavy white pigments moving. Test the color on the included card to ensure you are happy with the match before touching the car. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between your layers to build up a level surface that matches the surrounding panels.
