Find Your Hyundai Tiburon Paint Code

Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat.

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.

Before you order Hyundai Tiburon paint

How do I confirm the right color for my Hyundai Tiburon?

Use the paint code from the Hyundai Tiburon label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

Where do I find the paint code for Hyundai Tiburon?

For the Hyundai Tiburon, start with the make-specific code guidance: Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

Why should I use the paint code instead of the color name?

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

What if the code is missing?

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Can trim, bumper, or finish differences affect Hyundai Tiburon touch up paint?

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Hyundai Tiburon. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

What product should I choose for Hyundai Tiburon repair?

For Hyundai Tiburon repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
