Daewoo Red Rock Mica (70U/WA237L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the mid-2000s era of practical family haulers like your Tacuma. It is not a loud, aggressive red. Instead, it is a grounded, earthy tone that feels more like a mineral than a fruit. Because your car has likely lived through two decades of weather, the original finish might have lost some of its depth to the sun. Red pigments are the first to surrender to UV rays, so do not be surprised if the fresh paint has a bit more bite than the aged panels around it.

Technical Details

This is a Mica finish, which means it relies on tiny, light-reflecting pearl particles rather than standard silver metallic flakes. These particles give the color its "rock" name by creating a deep, shifting glow. The risk here is application thickness. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica will clump together and create dark, muddy patches that ruin the finish. You need to build the color with light, patient layers to keep the appearance consistent.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Daewoo Red Rock Mica (check for code 70U/WA237L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The mica particles are heavy and will settle at the bottom of the container. You can usually find your paint code on a small metal plate riveted to the center of the firewall in the engine compartment. Test the color on the included card to see how the mica reacts to the light before you touch the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down flat. Allow for a long drying time before you apply a clear coat to lock in the mineral shine.
