Hyundai Tucson Touch Up Paint (119 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Hyundai didn't hold back with the Tucson, racking up a massive 124 recorded colors over the years. They really went for it with some of the names-we've got everything from the adventurous Atomic Orange Metallic and Kiwi Green to the strangely caffeinated Milk Tea Brown and Chai Bronze. Of course, if you're driving one of the 50 shades of silver or gray like Coliseum Gray or Platinum Metallic, you're in good company. Whether your Tucson is a vibrant "look at me" sunset or a "blend into the suburbs" silver, there's a specific formula waiting for it.

What to Watch For

If you're looking for your paint code, head to the driver's side door jamb. You'll find a black sticker near the latch with a bunch of barcodes and the VIN; look for the word "PAINT" followed by a two or three-digit code (like "W3" or "SAW"). Now, for the honest truth: some Tucsons-particularly the white, silver, and pearl models-have a reputation for paint that likes to go on vacation. It can occasionally peel or flake off in chunks, especially on the hood and roof. If you see a small chip, don't ignore it! Tacking it down with a touch-up pen now can prevent that chip from turning into a "sheet" of missing paint later.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many Tucson colors are "Pearls" or "Tricoats" (like Hyper White or Moonlight Cloud), those tiny sparkly flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake that paint bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Use the "thin layers" approach. Think of it like painting your nails; several thin coats will stick much better to the Hyundai primer than one giant, goopy blob that might just peel right back off.
