Kia paint color code list
Each spray paint is custom-made based on the most popular variant of your color code.
Your code isn't in the list? Order "Other". If it's a tri-coat color, you also need to order one additional spray can for the effect layer.
How to find your Kia paint code
On most Kias the paint code is on the black VIN sticker in the driver's side door jamb - open the driver's door and look for the code in the top right corner of the sticker, or in a row marked "PAINT" or "COLOR". Kia codes are 2 or 3 characters long, for example "SWP" or "3D". On some models (for example Sorento) the sticker is on the B-pillar area of the door opening instead.
Can't find it? Call Kia dealer center service/parts department, ask for color code & provide VIN. Still can't figure it out? Select "Other" at checkout and add your car's registration number (XX-1234) to the order notes. We'll look it up in the database (Latvian clients).
How much paint do you need?
One spray can covers approximately 1 m² (about one car door, one wing/fender, or one sill). As a rough guide:
- Door, wing/fender, sill: 1 spray can each
- Front or rear bumper, boot/trunk lid: 2 spray cans each
- Full roof or full bonnet/hood: 3 spray cans
Coverage varies depending on the actual car size & tone of paint. Treat these numbers as estimates. If painting larger parts, you will need additional small spray kits (paint and clearcoat).
Spray paint application: key tips
Environment you'll need
- A dust-free work area
- Temperature of at least 15°C (59°F)
- Good lighting
- Roughly 4 hours of free time up to a full day, depending on the condition of the part
- PPE safety (respirator & gloves)
Tips and tricks
- Sand in a cross pattern: two strokes up and down, then two strokes left and right, and repeat. Sanding in only one direction leaves deep grooves.
- Matte (scuff) and degrease the surface, even if it only needs repainting and is already in good condition.
- Shake every aerosol can for 3–5 minutes before use.
- Warm the cans in water at about 50°C (122°F) before use. This raises the pressure inside the can and gives a finer, more even spray. Never use water hotter than 50°C, because the can could burst.
- Start spraying just off the edge of the part, then move onto the surface without releasing the trigger. The first burst from any aerosol spits droplets instead of an even mist.
- Prime only the damaged area where possible and apply paint slightly beyond it, but clearcoat the entire part/panel so no clearcoat edge is visible. If that's not possible, sand the clearcoat edge with P3000 and polish it.
- Read the instructions on each product (rust converter, primer, paint, clearcoat) before use. Drying times vary by product.
Distances and timing
(verify against your specific product; this varies by manufacturer)
-
Rust converter: 25–30cm from the part, 3–6h between coats (depending on the product), 2–3 coats. 24h cure recommended after the final coat.
-
Primer: 25–30cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until evenly covered). 1h after the final coat.
-
Paint: 25–30cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until evenly covered). 1h after the final coat.
-
Clearcoat: 15–20cm from the part, 15 min between coats, 2–3 coats (until an even, glossy finish; avoid overspraying, which causes drips/runs). Safe to drive after 12 hours of last coat. Should wait 1 week at 15°C (59°F) to polishing / washing. Fully dried after 1-2 weeks.
