Genesis Serengeti Brown Pearl (U5B) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Serengeti Brown is a sophisticated choice that perfectly matches the executive persona of the Genesis G80 and G90. It is a deep, earthy tone that avoids the flat appearance of standard browns by leaning into a rich, organic warmth. On the road, this color gives your car a grounded presence that feels far more exclusive than the typical black or silver. Since your vehicle has been out in the elements for a few seasons, you will notice that this shade is exceptionally good at hiding light road dust, though it relies on its underlying depth to truly stand out.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny mica flakes that create a dimensional effect when the sun hits the panels. The challenge with a pearl is the way the particles settle. If they are not distributed evenly during your work, the repair can look darker from one angle and lighter from another. You must keep the container moving to ensure a consistent flow and to prevent the flakes from bunching up. Because of the multi-layered nature of a pearl, the drying time between applications is the most important factor in achieving a professional result.

Best Practices

You will find your factory identification sticker on the driver's side door jamb, near the latch. Before you spray or dab Genesis Serengeti Brown Pearl (check for code U5B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pearl particles are fully suspended in the mixture. Work in your garage or a patch of shade rather than direct sunlight to keep the paint from drying too quickly. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your current finish. When you start, remember to maintain a consistent spray distance and give the area plenty of drying time before you think about applying a clear coat.
