PDS - Sky Blue MetallicHyundai Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a cheerful time capsule from the 2010 and 2011 model years. If you own an Elantra or the utility-minded Elantra Touring, you know this shade isn't just blue-it is a bright, optimistic tone designed to make these cars stand out in a sea of silver commuters. Since your vehicle has spent over a decade on the road, the original finish might look less vibrant than it did on the showroom floor. This blue is excellent at hiding light road dust, but it reveals deep scratches because of the bright base.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. The paint contains tiny flakes that provide a signature shimmer. These flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom of your container. If you skip the mixing, you risk a mottled look where the repair appears blotchy. Light reflects off those metal particles at different angles, so an unmixed batch will make your work look like a dark smudge rather than a clean match.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the manufacturing sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Sky Blue Metallic (check for code PDS), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to get those metallic flakes back into the mix. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade aligns with your car's current condition. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Always allow for plenty of drying time in a cool garage or the shade before you decide if you need another coat.
