Genesis Electrified-G80 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Genesis didn't hold back with the Electrified G80, offering a sophisticated palette of 14 colors that prove "electric" doesn't have to mean "boring." While you have your classic executive staples like Vik Black Pearl and Saville Silver Metallic, they really went for it with boutique shades like the earthy Bariloche Brown, the striking Valencia Gold, and the deep, forest-inspired Hallasan Green Pearl. Whether you're driving a car the color of an Icelandic glacier or a Mediterranean cove, these paints are designed to shimmer under the sun.
What to Watch For
Here's the honest truth: Genesis paint is famously "soft." This means that while it looks like a million bucks in the showroom, it tends to collect rock chips on the hood and front bumper if you so much as look at a gravel road. Owners also report that the clear coat can be a bit shy around the door handles, where it occasionally likes to peel or flake. To find your specific color match, open your driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb-you're looking for a two or three-character code (like UYH for Uyuni White or PH3 for Vik Black). If it's not there, check under the hood on the firewall, but the door jamb is your best bet.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors-like Mallorca Blue and Iceland Blue-are loaded with pearl and metallic flakes, your biggest job happens before the cap even comes off. Shake that touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. You want to hear that little agitator ball doing work to wake up those "sparkles" that have settled at the bottom. When applying, especially on those common door handle chips, remember that less is more. These soft finishes prefer three thin, whisper-light coats rather than one big "glop." If you're working with a Tricoat (like Verbier White), it requires a little extra patience: apply your base color first, let it dry, then follow up with the mid-coat to get that factory glow.
