My wife came back with (what I consider) a huge chip on the left side of the hood . I stopped by the dealer for some touch up paint but found they don't have a part number yet for my color, 2012 Shimmering White. Anybody found a source for this?

im sure they should have touch up paint for every cars paint even off the line, if they cant find it based by your VIN then somethings gotta be wrong or they just need to order it..
its not the same as the 2011 glacier white? -------------------- |

Unless they're completely incompetent (I'm beginning to wonder), Hyundai isn't selling it yet according to them. It took them about 30 minutes using my VIN to figure out they couldn't pull it up in the system so they called Hyundai direct and were told there is no part number for that paint code yet. I asked what happens if I really smash up the car and they said the body shop would have to mix up their own paint! Never heard of that.

The mixing of the paint is correct - they dont use paint pens to paint a car
I had to get a quart of paint for a car and the dealership had no lead whatsoever so I had to have a paint shop mix some up. -------------------- |

When I first retired I worked for an after market auto parts company that sold PPG paint. We had a small hand held computer type machine that we called a brick and you would place it on three different areas of the vehicle and the formula for the correct paint would be shown. Any shop should be able to mix you a quart or pint of the needed color for your car.

I just asked my dealer for touch up paint for my 2012 blue sky metallic and was told the color was still being developed as a touch up paint and is still not available. That's odd since this color was available on the 2011 Elantras. Could the color be slightly different between 2011 and 2012 even though it has the same name? Oh yeah, they also searched for the color in their system using my VIN.
