COLOR CODESSS - Saville Silver MetallicGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

If you own a G70, G80, G90, or GV80, your car was designed with a philosophy of athletic elegance, and this color is the perfect expression of that. It is a refined, mid-tone silver that feels significantly more substantial than the thin, flat silvers found on economy cars. On the road, this shade is incredibly practical because it hides a week of road dust and light rain spots better than almost any other color in the lineup. It emphasizes the sharp body lines and crest grille of your Genesis, giving the metal an architectural, machined appearance that looks expensive even when the car is sitting still.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, packed with fine aluminum-style flakes that react to direct sunlight. Before you apply Genesis Saville Silver Metallic (confirm your code is SSS on the door jamb), you should know that metallic paints require a steady hand. The main risk here is mottling, which happens when the metallic flakes bunch together in uneven patches, making the repair look darker or cloudy compared to the original finish. This usually occurs if the paint is applied too heavily or if the container is not mixed properly. Because silvers reflect light from every angle, any inconsistency in how the flakes lay down will be noticeable, so patience is your best tool.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the driver's side door jamb; look for the black manufacturer sticker where the code is listed next to the EXT or Paint prompt. To ensure the flakes are distributed evenly, shake your container for at least 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to make sure the darkness and flake density look right. Whether you are using a pen or a spray, keep the container moving across the repair area to avoid pooling. Apply several thin layers rather than one thick one, allowing for sufficient drying time between each pass. This layering approach helps the metallic particles settle correctly, ensuring the repair blends into the surrounding panel without looking like a smudge.
