COLOR CODENA3 - Verbier White TricoatGenesis Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Genesis isn't just white; it carries an architectural, satin-like finish that sets it apart from the sea of glossy cars in the parking lot. Originally popularized on the G70 Launch Edition and now found on the G80, Electrified-G80, and G90, this color mimics the soft glow of alpine snow. It lacks the harsh reflections of a standard clear coat, giving your car a chiseled, frozen appearance that emphasizes the body lines. Because it doesn't bounce light like a mirror, it hides light dust well, but it demands respect because it cannot be buffed or polished without ruining the matte effect.

Technical Details

This is a matte tricoat finish, which makes it one of the most complex colors to touch up. Unlike a standard paint that uses a glossy top layer, this system relies on a specific flattening agent to achieve its signature look. You are dealing with three distinct layers: a solid base, a pearlescent middle, and a matte topcoat. If you use a standard glossy clear coat on a chip, the repair will stand out like a sore thumb. Matte finishes are notoriously unforgiving because you cannot sand away your mistakes. If the color or texture is off, you have to start over rather than trying to blend it with a compound.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Genesis Verbier White Tricoat (check for code NA3), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes and flattening agents are perfectly distributed. Test the color on the included card to see how the layers build up before touching your car. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots that can alter the texture. If you are using a spray can, work in a Garage or Shade to prevent the sun from shortening the drying time too aggressively, which can cause the matte finish to look uneven or blotchy.
