Genesis GV80 Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Genesis didn't just launch a luxury SUV; they launched a mobile art gallery. With 23 recorded colors, they really went for it. Whether you are rocking the deep, earthy Cardiff Green Pearl, the regal Barossa Burgundy, or the sophisticated Carbon Metal Metallic, the GV80 is a masterclass in "look-at-me" elegance. They even offered several matte options, like Melbourne Grey and Storr Green Matt, for those who prefer their luxury without the shiny glare. It's a bold palette that says you didn't just buy a car-you chose a vibe.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk reality. While that paint looks like a million bucks, it can be a bit sensitive. If you're hunting for your paint code to start a repair, pop open the driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb. You're looking for a two or three-character code (like UYH for Uyuni White or PH3 for Vik Black) next to the "PAINT" or "EXT" heading.

Keep a close watch on the door handles and bumper edges. Some owners have noticed the clear coat-the protective "skin" on top of the color-tends to get a little shy and can start peeling in those high-touch areas. Also, the large hood is a magnet for environmental "stains" or spots if bird droppings or tree sap sit for too long. If you catch a chip early, you're golden; let it go too long, and that soft clear coat might start to lift around the edges.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GV80 colors are pearls or tricoats (like Uyuni White or Mauna Red), they require a little extra love to get the depth right. Before you touch that chip, shake your paint bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean "maraca-player-in-a-samba-band" shaking. This wakes up the metallic flakes and pearls that settled at the bottom.

When applying, think of yourself as a surgeon, not a house painter. Use a toothpick or the very tip of the brush to place a tiny dot of paint in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the color looks a little light at first, don't panic. These complex colors require patience; let the first layer dry for 20 minutes before adding a second. It's much easier to build up thin layers than to try and fix one giant, gloopy mountain of paint.
