Genesis Siberian Ice (RGY) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Genesis Siberian Ice is a bit of a legend among G70 and G80 owners. It arrived in 2018 and quickly became the preferred choice for drivers who found standard white too traditional. This color is a chameleon that shifts between a crisp, frozen white and a cool, clinical grey depending on the clouds overhead. Since your Genesis has likely been on the road for a few years, you might notice that this shade holds its modern edge better than almost any other factory option, though it is quite sensitive to the lighting in your garage or driveway.

Technical Details

While many luxury paints rely on heavy flakes to get your attention, this is a solid finish. There is no metallic sparkle or pearl mica hidden in the mix. This makes the repair process straightforward because you do not have to worry about the orientation of the flakes or "tiger stripes" appearing in your finish. However, because it is such a clean, light grey-white, it is completely unforgiving when it comes to surface contamination. Any speck of dust or oil left on the panel will stand out like a thumbprint on a mirror. You are aiming for a flat, glass-like surface that lets the cool blue undertones do the heavy lifting.

Best Practices

You can find your paint identity on the silver or black sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Genesis Siberian Ice (check for code RGY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy white and grey pigments are fully integrated before they leave the nozzle or brush. Test the color on the included card first to confirm the tone matches the current state of your car. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to ensure the thickness is consistent across the repair area. Give the surface ample drying time between light coats rather than trying to hide the damage in one heavy pass.
