COLOR CODEGRY - Vanta GreyGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Genesis introduced this color for the G70 and G80 to provide a charcoal that feels more like forged metal than simple paint. While it may look like a flat, neutral grey in the shade, the direct sun reveals a complex depth that matches the modern lines of your car. Since your Genesis is a newer model, the finish remains crisp, so any repair needs to respect that high-tech shimmer. It is a sophisticated choice that hides road dust better than black but offers far more personality than a standard silver.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles of metal to catch the light. The biggest risk with metallic paint is mottling, where the flakes bunch up and create dark streaks or blotches. This happens if you apply the paint too heavy in one pass, causing the metallics to sink into the puddle rather than staying on the surface. To keep the repair level with the rest of your door or hood, apply the color in light, thin layers to let those flakes stand up and reflect light in a uniform way.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the identification plate located inside the driver side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Genesis Vanta Grey (check for code GRY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is mandatory because the heavy metallic flakes often settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes distribute before you move to the vehicle. Whether you are using the nozzle or the brush, keep the container moving to ensure the color remains consistent. Give each layer enough drying time in a cool garage or shade so the paint sets firm before you add the next one.
