Repairing the Paint Finish of Your Vehicle

~1min read

Deep scratches or stone chips on the painted surface must be repaired promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust and may lead to costly major repairs.

NOTICE

If your vehicle is damaged and requires any repair or replacement of metal, make sure the body shop applies anti-corrosion treatment materials to the repaired or replaced parts.

NOTICE

Matte paint finish (if equipped) On vehicles with a matte paint finish, it is not possible to change only the damaged area, and the entire part must be repaired. If the vehicle is damaged and requires painting, we recommend that you have your vehicle serviced and repaired at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use extreme caution, as it is difficult to restore the quality after repair.
