The paint code on a 2013 Hyundai is usually found on the driver's door jamb sticker; if it's not there, check the glove box label or an engine-bay/radiator-support sticker as other common locations.
Common locations to check
To locate the color code quickly, start with these standard places where Hyundai typically prints the color information.
- Driver's door jamb sticker: Look on the door frame near the hinges (or along the door edge). The label will list the color code next to a tag such as “PAINT,” “COLOR,” or “CODE.” Expect 2–4 characters (letters and/or numbers).
- Glove box or dash-side label: If the door jamb sticker isn’t present or legible, inspect the inside of the glove box lid or the nearby dash area for another label with the color code.
- Engine bay / radiator core support label: On some 2013 Hyundais, the paint code is printed on a sticker mounted on the radiator support or inner fender near the engine bay; you may need to peel back a cover to read it.
- Trunk or spare tire area label (rare): In a few trims, the color code can also appear on a sticker inside the trunk or near the spare tire well.
If you still can’t locate the code after checking these areas, contact a Hyundai dealer with your VIN or vehicle details. They can pull the exact color code from the build records or the service database.
Understanding Hyundai paint codes
Hyundai paint codes are typically 2–4 characters and can include letters and numbers. The code maps to the factory color name used by Hyundai; take the code to a body shop or parts dealer to ensure a precise match. If you’re repainting, provide the VIN and request the factory color name and code for verification.
Summary
For a 2013 Hyundai, start with the driver's door jamb label to find the paint code; if not visible, check the glove box, engine-bay labels, and, on rare occasions, the trunk area. When in doubt, consult a dealer with your VIN to confirm the exact color code and ensure a correct paint match.
