Genesis Polished Metal Metallic (V6S/V7S) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your G80 wears this shade like a tailored charcoal suit. It is a deep, industrial grey that provides a level of visual weight and executive presence that lighter silvers cannot match. Since your Genesis has been on the road since 2018, you have likely noticed how this color handles the elements. It is an incredibly practical choice for a daily driver because the darker metallic tone masks road salt and light dust far better than a standard black or white finish. It keeps that sharp, dealership-floor crispness even when you are between washes.

Technical Details

This finish is a traditional metallic, meaning it is loaded with tiny reflective flakes designed to catch the light. While these flakes provide depth, they also introduce the risk of mottling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will cluster together and create dark, cloudy patches that look like shadows on the panel. You need a light, even touch to keep the finish uniform. Because this is a metallic, it will never look right with a single thick coat; it requires thin, consistent layers to let the light reflect off the flakes correctly.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, open the driver's door and find the black identification sticker on the door jamb near the latch. Before you spray or dab Genesis Polished Metal Metallic (check for code V6S/V7S), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallics, as the flakes settle at the bottom and need to be suspended in the pigment for an accurate match. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to ensure the shade is right. Keep the container moving during application and maintain a consistent spray distance or brush stroke to avoid pooling. Give each layer ample drying time in the garage or shade to ensure the repair stays flat and invisible.
