Genesis Electrified-G800 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Genesis didn't just give us a color palette; they gave us a full-blown mood board. With 14 recorded colors, they really went for it-offering everything from the deep, sophisticated Vik Black Pearl to the adventurous Hallasan Green Pearl (which sounds more like a destination than a paint code). Whether you're rocking the earthy Brooklyn Brown or the crisp Uyuni White Tricoat, your car is basically wearing a tailored suit. It's elegant, it's bold, and it definitely makes the neighbors in their beige crossovers a little jealous.
What to Watch For
Now, here's the reality: this paint is a bit of a "sensitive soul." While it looks like a million bucks, modern Genesis clear coats are known for being quite soft. Keep a close eye on your door handles and the front bumper; owners have noticed the clear coat can sometimes get a little shy and start peeling or chipping in those high-traffic spots. Before you start, open your driver's side door and look at the jamb for a silver or black sticker. You're looking for a 2 or 3-letter code (like PH3 or UYH) under the "Paint" or "EXT" heading-that's your secret handshake to getting the right match.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors-especially the Verbier White and Tasman Blue-use pearls and tricoat effects, they require a bit of patience to get right. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. You want to wake up all those tiny metallic flakes that have been napping at the bottom of the bottle. When you apply it, think "micro-layers." Instead of one big, thick blob that will never dry right, go for two or three paper-thin coats. If you're working on a door handle, use the very tip of your brush to "dot" the paint in rather than "painting" it on. You've got this!
