COLOR CODEGEA - Undercover GreenKia Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color helped redefine the third-generation Kia Soul, shifting it away from its funky urban roots toward a more rugged, tactical aesthetic. It is a deep, utilitarian olive that looks like it belongs on a piece of military field gear rather than a suburban driveway. Since your Soul has likely spent its time navigating tight parking lots or coastal roads, you will find that this shade is an expert at masking light road dust and salt. It gives the car a grounded, sturdy presence that feels intentional and tough.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. Unlike many modern paints that use metallic flakes to hide imperfections, this color relies entirely on its heavy pigment. This is a double-edged sword for your repair. The lack of sparkle means you do not have to worry about the finish looking mottled or striped if your technique is slightly off. However, because the surface is so uniform, any bumps or uneven layers will stand out. Before you spray or dab Kia Undercover Green (check for code GEA), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the color is consistent from the first drop to the last.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the black manufacturer sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. When you are ready to begin, find a spot in your garage or a patch of shade where the metal is cool to the touch. Test the color on the included card before moving to the vehicle to ensure the shade matches your specific car's aging. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the color from pooling in the center of the repair. If you are using a pen or brush, thin layers are your best friend. Build the depth slowly, allowing for plenty of drying time between each pass so the new paint sits flush with the original factory finish.
