Genesis G70 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Genesis didn't hold back with the G70, racking up a massive 27 recorded colors. They really went for it with head-turners like Havana Red Tricoat and the earthy Hallasan Green Pearl. Of course, they also leaned heavily into the "luxury palette," giving us what feels like 50 shades of grey-from Makalu Gray to Melbourne Grey Metallic. Whether you're driving the crisp Siberian Ice or the deep Adriatic Blue, you're dealing with a high-end finish that looks like a million bucks when it's fresh.
What to Watch For
The G70 is a stunner, but the consensus among owners is that the paint is a bit on the "soft" side. This means the front hood and mirrors are absolute magnets for stone chips, and you might notice the clear coat is sensitive to rough car washes. Keep an eye on the seams where the bumper meets the fender; some owners have reported the paint can be a little shy and start to peel or flake in those tight corners. Before you start your repair, pop open the driver's side door-you'll find your 2 or 3-character paint code right there on the VIN sticker in the door jamb.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Genesis colors are packed with pearls and metallics (looking at you, Uyuni White and Bond Silver), your biggest secret weapon is a good workout for your arm. Shake that touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds to wake up the sparkles that have settled at the bottom; otherwise, the color will look flat. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." Use the very tip of your brush to drop a tiny amount into the chip rather than painting over it. If the chip is deep, let it dry for 20 minutes and add a second tiny drop. It's much easier to add a little more than it is to deal with a big, gloppy mountain of paint!
