Title: Where I can see the paint code on I30 cw?
Post by: alee79 on May 01, 2015, 10:36:23

Hi guys, I just got a 2012 I30 cw CRDi. It is on red beautiful, but there are some small paint damage on the body. I want to buy a touch up paint kit to fix them, but I could not see the paint code on  the car. There is a label on the jamb but not for the color.
I search on the internet, believe  the paint code should be on the vim plate, but I could not find this plate. Anyone know this?

On the FD the code was on the plate in the passenger side door jamb, it was only the tyre pressures on the drivers side.

Checked the label on the passager jamb, can see the paint code is TRP, anyone know that is "TROPICAL RED" or "VOLCANIC RED" ? Thanks.

A simple Google search for the term "Hyundai paint code TRP" will bring amazing results, it appears to be Volcanic Red :)
