Hyundai Tiburon Touch Up Paint (49 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't hold back when they dressed the Tiburon. We have tracked a massive 49 different colors for this sport coupe, and it's clear the designers were having a blast in the lab. They went for bold, expressive names like Jazz Orange Pearl, Rio Tomato Pearl, and the legendary Tuscani Yellow. Whether your Tiburon is sporting a deep Carbon Blue Pearl or the punchy Poppy, these colors were designed to catch the light-and the stares of everyone at the stoplight.

What to Watch For

While the Tiburon looks fast standing still, its paint can sometimes struggle to keep up with the years. If you're hunting for your paint code, head straight to the driver's side door jamb; you'll find a sticker there with a two or three-character code (like "TR" or "TR2"). Once you have your paint in hand, take a close look at the plastic "gills" on the fenders, the fuel door, and the rear spoiler. These plastic-to-paint bonds can get a little fussy over time, leading to some chipping or light peeling. You might also notice the roof or hood showing a bit of "sun-tired" fading if it's spent its life parked outside.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Tiburon colors are Pearls or Metallics, your biggest secret weapon is a good workout for your arm. Before you touch that chip, shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 full seconds. Those metallic flakes and pearl micas like to settle at the bottom; if you don't wake them up, your repair might look a little flat. When applying, remember that three thin, whisper-light layers are always better than one thick "glob." If you're working on the plastic fuel door or fender vents, take your time and stay within the lines-patience is what makes a driveway repair look like a factory finish.
