Genesis GV70 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Genesis really went for it with the GV70, recording a staggering 20 colors that range from "sensible executive" to "rolling art gallery." You've got deep, soulful tones like Cardiff Green Pearl and Barossa Burgundy Metallic, alongside a sophisticated collection of greys like Makalu and Melbourne. Whether you're sporting the icy Matterhorn White or the electric Adriatic Blue, these colors are designed to turn heads-which makes it even more heartbreaking when you spot that first chip.
What to Watch For
The GV70 is a beauty, but the reality is that its clear coat is notoriously "soft." This means it picks up rock chips on the hood and swirls from car washes more easily than its German rivals. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the edges of the wheel wells and the spots where the plastic bumper meets the metal fender, as some owners have reported the paint starting to lift or peel in those high-friction areas. To get started on your fix, open the driver's door and look at the door jamb (B-pillar) for a silver or black sticker. Your paint code is a simple 2 or 3-character string (like UYH for Uyuni White or PH3 for Vik Black) found right under the "PAINT" heading.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Genesis leans heavily into pearls and metallics, those tiny bottles of touch-up paint contain a lot of "heavy" flakes that settle at the bottom. Shake your bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles so they match the rest of the car. If you are working with one of the trendy matte options like Storr Green Matt or Melbourne Grey, matching that specific satin sheen requires patience. Apply the paint in very thin, light layers. Applying one thick, heavy blob will make the repair look too shiny compared to the rest of the flat finish. Take your time, let it dry between coats, and you'll keep that factory-fresh look right in your own driveway.
