How do you find the paint color of your car?
We have an extensive range of paint codes for all Hyundai models, including the Sonata and Genesis. Hyundai has made locating your paint code relatively easy, and you can typically find them in the places below. It will be located on the manufacturer’s sticker, which is usually black, white, or silver. To find your code:

- Under the hood check the core support
- Look on the middle section of the firewall
- Lastly, check the driver’s side door jamb
The locations above are just the most typical and can vary depending on the year and model of your Hyundai. If you can’t find the tag with your paint code number on it, give us a call at 971-770-2372 , we are available from 8:00 am till 2:00 pm PST. After a few basic pieces of information, our staff will be able to help you identify the correct paint code. You can also contact us via email at CustomerService@ERAPaints.com
How to find the paint code on the manufacturer’s tag
Hyundai color codes are straightforward to understand. Their codes are usually two characters in length, containing both numbers and letters. However, they can also be three digits long.

Example: WJ
The letters above represent White Tricoat. Other examples include IM Titanium Silver Metallic and 3D/A3D Bright Silver Metallic. Sometimes the same color code may be used for multiple colors depending on the type of vehicle you own.
Spotting the color code on your Accent or Elantra’s manufacturers tag isn’t tricky. The Hyundai color code is prefixed with the title `PAINT”. This can often be found at the top of the label on the right-hand side.
