Genesis Electrified-GV70 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Genesis didn't hold back with the Electrified GV70, offering a staggering 24 colors that range from the deeply sophisticated Cardiff Green Pearl to the head-turning Atacama Copper. They really went for it here-it's like they looked at a standard luxury palette and decided it wasn't nearly dramatic enough. Whether you're rocking the icy Iceland Blue or the moody Brooklyn Brown, your car is wearing a high-fashion suit that deserves a little extra love when the road throws a pebble its way.
What to Watch For
Now, here is the honest truth from the driveway: this paint is beautiful, but it can be a bit sensitive. Owners have noted that the clear coat feels a little soft, and you might notice small chips or "peeling" starting to appear around the wheel wells or the sharp edges of the front bumper. If you see a tiny spot, don't panic-it's just the car's way of asking for a quick fix before the elements get ideas. First things first, go find your paint code. It's almost always on the driver's side door jamb on that black or white VIN sticker. Look for a two- or three-character code (like PH3 for Vik Black or SSS for Saville Silver).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these Genesis colors are pearls or metallics (I'm looking at you, Mauna Red Pearl), those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you even touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean a real, vigorous workout-to wake up that metallic flake. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." Use the very tip of the brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you have one of those gorgeous matte finishes like Atacama Copper Matte, remember: never rub or scrub the spot after you apply the paint, or you'll turn that "matte" into a "shiny" spot that stays forever. Just dab, let it dry, and walk away with your head held high.
