COLOR CODEGBE - Bering BlueGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Bering Blue is the standout signature for the GV80 Coupe, designed to bridge the gap between a professional gray and a cool, icy blue. It takes its name from the Bering Strait, and the finish is meant to mimic the look of frozen water under a winter sun. Since your GV80 is likely a newer model, this color represents the modern, athletic shift in the brand. It is a sophisticated, muted shade that avoids looking like a typical bright blue, giving the car a grounded and expensive presence on the road.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which presents a specific challenge for home repairs. The paint contains tiny flakes that must stand at the correct angle to reflect light correctly. If you apply the paint too heavy, these flakes sink and cause dark spots or stripes, often called mottling. Because the factory paint on a 2025 or 2026 model is still fresh, you have a better chance of a match, but you must be mindful of how the metallic particles settle as the paint dries.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb to confirm your color information. Before you spray or dab Genesis Bering Blue (check for code GBE), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. This step is mandatory for metallic paints to ensure the flakes don't stay at the bottom. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic grain looks once it sets. When you move to the car, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the repair plenty of drying time before you think about adding a second layer or a clear coat.
