Genesis Porto Red Metallic (NA1) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is more than a simple coat of paint; it is an homage to the deep, crimson wine of Portugal. When Genesis released the G80 and G90, they moved away from the loud, aggressive reds of sports cars to create something with gravity. On your car, this shade shifts under different lighting, appearing almost black in the shade while revealing a rich, burgundy heart in the sun. It is the definition of mature luxury, designed to make these large sedans look grounded and expensive.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a complex metallic finish. This means the paint is packed with fine particles that reflect light to create that signature depth. Because of these flakes, you must be careful with how much paint you apply at once. If you go too heavy, the metallic particles will sink and bunch up, resulting in dark, blotchy spots that look like shadows on your fender. You want to build the color with several thin layers to ensure the flakes stay level and catch the light evenly across the repair.

Best Practices

To find your official confirmation, look for a sticker on the driver's side door jamb where the frame meets the door. Before you spray or dab Genesis Porto Red Metallic (check for code NA1), you need to shake the container for 60 seconds to fully suspend those heavy metallic flakes. Since your car has likely seen a few seasons of sun, the original finish might have shifted slightly. Always test the color on the included card first. When you start the actual repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between each thin coat to maintain the clarity of the wine-red tone.
