2020 Genesis Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Genesis Vibe

2020 was the year Genesis finally stopped asking for a seat at the table and just brought its own. While the rest of the world was staying home, the G70 was out hunting BMWs, and the G90 was making everyone else's executive sedan look like a budget rental. We've got 11 distinct shades in the vault from this vintage, ranging from the deep, moody Adriatic Blue to the "is-it-white-or-is-it-blue" mystery of Siberian Ice. It was a sophisticated palette for a brand that had finally found its voice, leaning heavily into those complex pearls like Black Forest Green and the high-drama Havana Red Tricoat.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2020, the factory robots at Genesis had become surgeons-they apply paint with such terrifying efficiency that there isn't a wasted micron on the entire chassis. While that makes for a flawless, glass-like finish on the showroom floor, it means your Vik Black Pearl or Uyuni White is living on a prayer. These modern clear coats are hard but brittle. Instead of absorbing a stone chip, the paint tends to "shatter" in a tiny radius, leaving you with those annoying white specks on the hood that look like road salt. If you're seeing "road rash" on the leading edge of your fenders, don't blame the highway-blame the robot that was too stingy with the spray.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip on a 2020 Genesis, remember: you are not icing a cake. Because the factory finish is so thin, a big, heavy blob of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. You want to build your layers like a professional-slow and steady. Use a fine-tipped applicator and apply two or three paper-thin coats rather than one thick one. This is especially true for those tricoats like Porto Red Metallic; you need that thin layering to let the metallic flake catch the light properly. If you rush it, you'll end up with a dark spot that looks like a bruise. Patience is the only tool the robot didn't have.
