COLOR CODET2G - Portofino Gray MetallicHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Tucson or Santa Fe carries a shade that manages to look both rugged and refined. This color isn't a simple flat gray; it acts as a chameleon on the road, often appearing nearly black in the shade before the metallic flakes catch the light and reveal a deep charcoal depth. Since your Sonata or Elantra has likely spent its life facing highway debris, you'll find that this specific tone is incredibly forgiving when it comes to hiding road film and light dust. It's a professional finish that gives the vehicle a heavy, solid appearance.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles to create that signature glow. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Portofino Gray Metallic (check for code T2G), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. These metallic flakes are heavier than the pigment and will settle at the bottom of your container quickly. If they aren't mixed, the repair will look like a dull, dark smudge rather than a match. You also want to avoid applying a single heavy layer. If the paint goes on too wet, the flakes will swim and bunch together, creating a blotchy look that makes the repair stand out.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the manufacturer's sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb, usually right next to the word "PAINT." Before you touch the car, test the color on the included card to ensure the flakes are distributing evenly and the shade matches your current finish. When you start the repair, keep the container moving across the surface in light passes. This prevents the paint from pooling and ensures the metallic texture remains consistent. Give each layer enough drying time to set properly before you apply your final clearcoat.
