Key Features

• Low-VOC formulation: The Colorcoat and clearcoat are formulated to be low-VOC, offering a more environmentally conscious option compared with older solvent mixes.

Who It's For

The Preferred Kit is aimed at DIY enthusiasts and owners of Hyundai vehicles who want a matched Shoreline Drive Blue Pearl aerosol solution for medium-size repairs such as hoods, bumpers and trunk lids.
