Hyundai Santa-Fe Touch Up Paint (167 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't just pick a palette for the Santa Fe; they went on a decades-long chromatic odyssey. With a staggering 183 colors recorded, they really went for it. You've got everything from the classic Ebony Black and Noble White to the "I'm feeling adventurous" Spicy Red Metallic and Pine Green Metallic. They also have a deep love for the Two-Tone look, meaning your Santa Fe might be wearing a tuxedo of sorts with different colors for the body and the cladding. Whether you're driving a Canyon Copper machine or a Moonlit Blue cruiser, your car has more personality in its paint than most entire parking lots.

What to Watch For

If you own a white or pearl-colored Santa Fe, you might have noticed the paint has a bit of an "exit strategy"-specifically on the hood and roof where it can sometimes peel or flake away. For everyone else, the Santa Fe's tall front profile makes it a magnet for rock chips. To get started on your repair, you'll need your code. Open your driver's door and look at the door jamb or the edge of the pillar. You're looking for a small sticker with a 2 or 3-digit code (like "NW" for Noble White or "EB" for Ebony Black). A quick heads-up: if you're fixing a scratch on the lower plastic trim, that's often a different color than the metal body, so double-check which part of the "Two-Tone" you're actually aiming at!

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Hyundai colors are pearls or metallics (like that gorgeous White Pearl Tricoat), the "magic" is all in the flakes. Before you touch that brush to the car, shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Think of it like building a sandwich: thin layers are your friend. Dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat until the hole is filled. It requires a little patience, but it's the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a glob of nail polish.
