2019 Genesis Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Genesis Vibe

2019 was the year Genesis finally stopped being "the nice Hyundai" and started being the brand that made German engineers look over their shoulders. With the G70, G80, and G90 hitting the streets, they didn't just bring performance; they brought a wardrobe of 11 sophisticated colors that looked like they belonged in a high-end watch catalog. We're talking about the deep, multi-stage fire of Havana Red Tricoat and that "is it white or is it frozen?" look of Siberian Ice. Whether it was the "look at me" depth of Mallorca Blue Pearl or the "I'm the boss" gravity of Victoria Black Metallic, the 2019 palette was all about proving that new luxury didn't have to be boring.

Paint Health Check

Here's the reality, kid: you're looking at the peak of the "Thin Paint Era." While those 2019 finishes look deep enough to swim in, the robots at the factory were tuned for absolute efficiency. That means the clear coat is thinner than a diner napkin. If you're driving a G70, you've probably noticed the front bumper is a magnet for road rash-the paint is notoriously "soft," meaning it picks up swirl marks if you even look at it too hard. By now, the leading edges are likely showing the battle scars of highway travel, and if you haven't been religious with the protection, that factory clear is starting to feel the pressure of the sun.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing chips on these modern beauties, you've got to play the long game. Because the factory finish is so thin, you can't just slap a giant blob of paint into a crater and expect it to blend-it'll end up looking like a zit on a supermodel. Use a fine-tipped applicator and build your layers slowly. Drip a tiny amount in, let it dry and shrink, then repeat until the level is just right. Especially with the pearls like Polar Ice or the tricoats like Marble White, patience is the only tool that matters. Build the color depth first, don't rush the dry time, and let the clear coat do the heavy lifting.
