COLOR CODEP5C - Polar Ice Pearl MetallicGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your G80 carries a presence that relies on subtlety, and this color is the perfect example of that refined aesthetic. It is not a standard silver; instead, it is a cool, glacial blue that shifts in character depending on the light of the sky. Since your car has likely been on the road for several years, the original finish might have weathered slightly, making it important to focus on thin layers that blend into the existing panels rather than standing out.

Technical Details

This finish is a pearl metallic, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light from multiple angles. The primary risk with this type of paint is that those heavy metallic particles like to settle at the bottom of the container. If they are not fully mixed, your repair might look like a flat gray smudge rather than a shimmer. Because this is such a light, airy tone, any area where the paint builds up too heavily will appear darker than the rest of the car. You must build the color slowly to maintain the bright, icy look of the factory finish.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and look at the identification sticker on the center pillar to confirm you are working with Genesis Polar Ice Pearl Metallic (check for code P5C). Before you begin the repair, shake your container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the pearls are evenly distributed. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific car. Work in your garage or a reliable patch of shade to keep the metal cool to the touch. When you start, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish remains crisp and level.
