COLOR CODEDY - Silky Beige MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Azera was built to compete with the heavy hitters of luxury sedans, and this color was its secret weapon. Silky Beige provides a warm, champagne glow that masks road grime better than almost any other shade in the Hyundai lineup. Since these cars have been on the road since the late 2000s, you are likely dealing with a finish that has mellowed and softened over the years. This paint is designed to restore that understated elegance without making the car look like a flashy gold brick.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, not a pearl or a solid. It relies on very fine metallic flakes to catch the light. The risk with a metallic beige is mottling, which looks like dark, cloudy streaks in the paint. This happens when the flakes do not settle flat. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will bunch up and ruin the effect. You want to aim for thin, even coverage so the light hits every flake at the same angle.

Best Practices

You can find your manufacturer sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply a single drop of Hyundai Silky Beige Metallic (look for code DY), you must shake the container for at least two minutes. Those metallic flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to make sure it matches your aged finish. Apply the paint in light passes in a protected garage or shade, and give it plenty of drying time between layers. Always keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute naturally across the surface without creating dark spots.
