Daewoo Galaxy White (11U) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your car is a survivor from the era when the brand truly found its own voice. Whether you are fixing a door edge on a Lanos or a bumper scuff on a Leganza, this color is the ultimate baseline for that generation. It was the standard choice for the Nubira and nearly all models at the turn of the millennium because it looked clean and professional. Since your car has been on the road for over two decades, this white likely feels like a familiar part of the family, even if the finish has picked up some battle scars from the daily commute.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you do not have to worry about metallic particles or pearl mid-coats. While it is a straightforward color, solid whites from this period are prone to looking dull or "chalky" if the car has spent years sitting in the sun. The benefit of a non-metallic shade is that it is much easier to blend than a complex silver. Before you spray or dab Daewoo Galaxy White (check for code 11U), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. The main challenge with a bright solid like this is the contrast against older, slightly oxidized original paint, so cleaning the area with a wax remover is vital for a good match.

Best Practices

You will typically find your paint information on a metal plate located on the radiator support bar or the center of the firewall under the hood. To get the best result, always test the color on the included card before applying it to the car. If you are working in a Garage or a patch of Shade, make sure the metal surface is not too cold to the touch. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to avoid heavy buildup and allow for a sufficient drying time between each thin coat. If you are using a Pen for stone chips, use light dabs rather than long strokes to fill the void without creating a ridge.
