Hyundai Genesis Coupe Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Hyundai didn't just give the Genesis Coupe a color palette; they gave it a world tour of the greatest racetracks on Earth. With 40 recorded colors, they really went for it, moving from the classic Tsukuba Red and Nordschleife Gray Metallic to the bold (and very green) Lime Rock Green Metallic. Whether you're rocking the deep Mirabeau Blue Pearl or the punchy Interlagos Yellow, this car was designed to look fast even while sitting in your driveway.
What to Watch For
Before you start, you'll need to find your specific code. Open your driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb-you're looking for a two-letter or three-character code (like NGA for Tsukuba Red or NAA for Bathurst Black).
Now, for the reality check: Hyundai paint from this era has a reputation for being a bit "soft," which means your hood and front bumper probably look like they've been in a minor gravel storm. If you have Karussel White or Tsukuba Red, keep an extra close eye on the door handles and the roof edges near the windshield; these areas are prone to the clear coat getting a little tired and wanting to lift away. The good news? Catching these spots early with a touch-up pen can stop that peeling in its tracks.
Driveway Repair Tip
Many of these colors, especially the "Pearl" and "Metallic" options, are packed with tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-way longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles so they match the rest of the car. When you're applying it, remember that "less is more." Use the tip of the applicator to dab tiny, thin layers into the chip. Building it up slowly is the secret to a repair that stays put and looks smooth once it dries.
