COLOR CODEFR7 - Lima Red PearlGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your GV80 carries a color that was meant to define its very first year on the road. Named after the red desert sands of Peru, this shade was a flagship choice for the 2021 launch, making it a rare find today. It balances a deep crimson with a high-energy glow that highlights the athletic curves of the car. Since your Genesis has likely been out in the world for a few years, this red might have matured slightly, so matching that specific depth is the key to a good repair.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it uses specialized interference pigments to create that signature optical shift. Unlike a solid red, the look of this paint changes based on the angle of the light. Pearls are sensitive to how they are applied; if the paint is applied too thick, the metallic flakes will not stand up correctly, leading to a dark or muddy look. If they are spread too thin, the color will lack the richness of the factory finish.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver or black VIN plate located on the driver's side door jamb. Before you apply Genesis Lima Red Pearl (check for code FR7), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to distribute the heavy pearl pigments. Test the color on the included card to see how many layers it takes to reach the right shade. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Let the drying time work in your favor by waiting between layers so the pearl effect stays crisp and even.
