Kia Sedona Touch Up Paint (44 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Kia really went for it with the Sedona, giving us a staggering 56 colors to navigate. It's a minivan range that hits every note from the practical "50 shades of grey" family-like Silver Metallic and Platinum Graphite Metallic-to some surprisingly bold choices like Black Berry Pearl and Dark Emerald Green Metallic. They even experimented with an extensive list of two-tone combinations back in the day, proving that even a grocery-getter can have a bit of a "tuxedo" vibe if it wants to.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, head to the driver's side door jamb. Kia makes it easy; the paint code is usually on a black sticker right there, often labeled clearly next to "PAINT." Now, for the reality check: Kia paint is a bit like a sensitive soul-it can be "soft." You'll likely find most of your work on the hood from road pebbles or on the rear hatch, which takes a beating from wandering shopping carts and heavy luggage. If you have one of the whites, like Snow White Tricoat or Clear White, keep a close eye on the roof and edges; these colors are known to occasionally want to "peel" away from the party. Catching those small chips early with your touch-up kit is the best way to keep that peel from spreading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Sedona colors are pearls or metallics (looking at you, Aurora Black Pearl and Celestial Blue), your secret weapon is the shake. You need to shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those tiny metallic flakes that have settled at the bottom. When you apply it, remember that "less is more." Use the tip of your applicator to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do two very thin layers with a 20-minute break in between than to put one big, thick blob that will take forever to dry.
