HYUNDAI car paint 

We carry out most of the paintwork for you among the color codes of Asian cars, in this case the color codes of Hyundai cars, thanks to another powerful color system updated daily.
In order for us to mix a color, we just need the color code of your HYUNDAI.
We cannot do a color search without this information, because there are hundreds of references among HYUNDAI colors. Two elements are useful for us to identify your paint : either the HYUNDAI color code or the name of the color.
It is not possible to do conclusive research with a car model or a year of construction of the car. It is also useless to look for information about the paint on the gray card. The color references are on the bodywork in certain places, this is explained in a following paragraph.

To order the paint corresponding to your vehicle, it is extremely simple and fast: the only thing you have to do is to choose the quantity or the packaging, that is to say either a pot of paint, or an aerosol.
It is by determining the quantity of surface that you need to paint that you will know the quantity to order.
Remember that, in most cases, the paints are supplied in a matt base version to be refinished: this means that you must also provide a clearcoat.

The car color codes of the HYUNDAI

The paints of the Korean manufacturer are remarkably well referenced and known because the manufacturer has been present on all continents for many years. In Europe, the brand is seeing excellent sales development and all the paint references are well known and matched by the different paint brands.
For this manufacturer's brand, the original colors correspond to a harmonized classification among all the world's car manufacturers :
This is the color code system that makes it possible to identify a color of paint with a series of numbers and letters. This color identification system is thought to avoid all kinds of errors and confusion for all customers but especially the professionals who have to apply the paints. As a double check, there is a second piece of information which is the name of the color, which can be in English, but sometimes in the language of the manufacturer, i.e. French, Italian or German.
Manufacturer paints made according to the HYUNDAI color code are always single-component ready-to-use paints. This is how all modern paints are made which are pearlescent and metallic paints. They are called matt base paints to be varnished. They apply without hardener and just need a thinner, for the pure versions.
For small packaging, i.e. 250 ml or 500 ml, the paint is already diluted, which makes the work extremely simple by avoiding any type of mixture: there is only put the paint in the spray gun and paint.
A HYUNDAI basecoat dries very quickly in ambient air, without baking or hardener. It is by evaporation of the solvents that this ultra-fine paint dries. This implies that the paint is not highly resistant in itself and that it must be varnished quickly.
Varnishing quickly is necessary to allow adhesion between the paint and the clearcoat : beyond 30 minutes, under normal ambient temperature conditions, i.e. 20°, we can no longer ensure that the varnish will correctly and perfectly hang on its support, that is to say the HYUNDAI paint.

The history of the manufacturer HYUNDAI

When comparing the pioneers of the European and American automotive industry and the Korean manufacturer HYUNDAI, there are nearly 70 years between them : indeed, HYUNDAI was founded in 1967, which is quite recent in automotive history. Originally, the founder established the HYUNDAI engineering company in 1947. HYUNDAI cooperates with many partners around the world, with factories in Belgium, Ecuador, England, Canada and for example owns almost a third of the KIA company. The Korean manufacturer produces cars recognized for their reliability and excellence by American specialized newspapers. It is based on mainstream vehicles, with affordable prices for the middle class. It employs 75,000 people around the world and in just 50 years of existence, it has become one of the largest car manufacturers in the world with an annual production capacity of nearly 1.6 million vehicles. In 2004, a gigantic factory was built in California with an approximate area of 17 km². Today, the group is ranked number 4 in the world in car manufacturing and continues its partnerships, for example with Daimler Chrysler and many others. It is experiencing strong development in Russia, China and other developing countries such as Turkey. In 2021, rumors say that HYUNDAI and Apple are working together to release a self-driving car.

Where to find the color code of your HYUNDAI car ?

For HYUNDAI brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the color code (vinplate) can be found in two different places.
- Inside the engine compartment, inside the hood, against the bottom of the windscreen.
- On the left front door leaf on the driver's side.

You can take help from the images provided below which illustrates the location.
The color code is always composed of 2 to 5 characters (letters or numbers).

In accordance with the system used internationally by all car manufacturers, the color code is centered on a plate (vinplate) and is not present on the gray card. This color code is formed by a group of letter numbers, of which here is an example. The second column represents the name of the color. Finally, the last column represents the years of operation:

1114 TAN 2014 - 2021
1K BLACK 2010 – 2011
