Default Ceramic grey code

This is the color code for Ceramic Grey
WA459C/69F
Go to this website to order the paint.

They call it Genisis Metallic. I ordered some to paint a pinstripe on my front splitter and it matched perfectly

Default Question about factory CMG

I own this 2019 ZO6 in Ceramic Metallic Gray and I’m wondering if the phrase “ceramic” means it comes with ceramic coating from the factory?

Sweet. Looks great with chrome wheels too! Still wondering what the "Ceramic" in the paint name is. Does it mean its a ceramic coating?

no that was the name G/M gave the color. Since it's not gray ,it's not white, it's not blue. it's ceramic matrix gray.

I agree. I get lots of complements on the color, and in the bright sun, you can see the fine metallic in the paint.

I don't think so, mine does not have a ceramic coating.

The Monronny Sheet list the color as Ceramic Matrix Grey Metallic. The VIS printout lists it as Genesis Metallic. Did Hyundai throw a fit over the use of the word Genesis since they have a copyright on the word for commercial purposes for the Genesis Car Line? Maybe!! I am sure that GM would have a cow if Ford named a color Corvette Metallic.

I do not think any one wanted a Corvette painted Gemesis Metalic.......Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic sounds so much better, and not foreign!

Your buddy does a very good job capturing the color of the car. So many pictures do not do a good job showing the color.

I have thought about debadging mine.

I just received the order from Paintscratch and ordered per the code suggested. The paint I received is far too grey, too dark, and doesn't match at all. I've notified them of the problem. We will see what happens.

I received a call from Paintscratch.com today.... Suffice to say I typically don't have problems with suppliers, but the guy who called was the most arrogant, non-helpful person you could possibly imagine. Buyer beware if you order anything from these guys.

We took a ride down to FL for three nights to eat fresh seafoods.
Here she is at Peck Old Port Cove. A very good seafood place just out side Crystal River FL. Ozello trail the road out to the restaurant has lots of curves.
