Hey Daniel, welcome back! If you damage or chip the paint on the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76074, we recommend using black Rustoleum spray paint to repair the finish. This will keep any rust from forming as you use your hitch.
The Draw-Tite item # 76074 has been confirmed to fit the 2021 Kia Sportage. I've linked an installation video below we made so you can see how to get it setup.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?
