Daewoo Casablanca White C;learcoat (10U/WA142L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Matiz may be small, but this color gives it a clean, substantial presence that punches above its weight class. It is a bright, clinical white that reflects the era when Daewoo was simplifying its lineup for a global audience. While it lacks the sparkle of a metallic finish, it offers a crisp, "fresh from the factory" aesthetic that makes the car look younger than it actually is. Since your car has likely spent the last two decades facing the sun, you will notice that this shade holds its brightness better than the darker blues or greens from the same years.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about. The beauty of a solid white is that it provides excellent coverage and is much more forgiving when you are trying to hide a deep scratch. However, white is notoriously honest; it will show every speck of dark road tar or iron fallout from your brakes. Because this is a clearcoat finish, it has a protective upper layer that prevents the pigment from turning chalky, but you must ensure your surface is surgically clean. If even a hint of grease remains, the new paint will struggle to grab onto the slick surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Daewoo Casablanca White C;learcoat (check for code 10U/WA142L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on the metal identification plate located on the radiator support bar under the hood or bolted to the center of the firewall. Once you are ready to work in your garage, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered panels. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy buildup in one spot. If you are using a pen or brush for a small chip, apply the paint in thin layers and allow ample drying time between each pass to keep the finish level with the surrounding area.
