Your Paint Color Profile

5P - Dark Red Wine Pearl

The Look

This shade represents an era when Kia was pushing for a more premium, executive identity. On models like the Amanti and the Optima, this deep crimson wasn't just a red; it was a statement of sophistication. Because your car has likely been on the road since 2007 or 2008, the original finish has matured under years of sun and weather. This means that while the fresh paint is an exact match for the factory standard, you should expect it to have a bit more depth and vibrancy than the surrounding aged panels. It is a color that rewards a clean surface and hides minor road dust remarkably well compared to brighter, flat reds.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which behaves differently from a standard solid paint. It contains mica particles that reflect light at various angles, giving the car its signature wine-colored glow. The biggest challenge you will face is mottling-those uneven dark spots or stripes that appear if the paint is applied too heavily in one area. Since the pearl flakes settle based on the thickness of the coat, a light hand is your best friend. If the paint is too thick, that spot will look darker and muddier than the rest of the car because the mica particles cannot lay flat to catch the light correctly.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for a black sticker on the driver side door jamb; the code is typically located near the bottom of that label. Before you spray or dab Kia Dark Red Wine Pearl (check for code 5P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is non-negotiable for pearl finishes because those mica flakes love to settle at the bottom of the container. Work in the shade or a cool garage to prevent the paint from drying too quickly. Always test the color on the included card before touching your car to see how the light hits the pearl. While applying, keep the container moving to ensure the flow is even across the repair area. Once you are finished, give it ample drying time before you apply a clear coat to lock in that deep wine shine.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Kia's Color Code

Kia codes are easy to find as they are always on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: B3. Example mapping: B3 Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. Same Color Code, Different Name: Kia, like all manufacturers, uses the exact same color across many models and then will have a different color name for each model. This is why the color code is so important to order the correct paint. For example, B3, above we call Mica Blue Metallic Clearcoat. It could also be called Blue Clearcoat, Light Mist Clearcoat, etc.

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.
