Daewoo All Models Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Daewoo really leaned into the "global era" with their palette, offering 15 distinct shades that range from the cosmic Galaxy White to the surprisingly sophisticated Spinel Red Pearl and Olive Silver Metallic. While some manufacturers played it safe with basic tones, Daewoo went for high-end sounding names like Regatta Blue Pearl and Granada Black Pearl. Whether you're driving a Lanos, Leganza, or a Nubira, they treated your driveway like a runway-even if the car was just headed to the grocery store.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your 3-character paint code. On almost every Daewoo model, you'll find this ID tag living on the radiator support bar (the metal frame right above the grille when you pop the hood). If it's not there, check the firewall near the back of the engine bay.

Now, for the reality check: Daewoo paint from the late '90s and early 2000s is known for "sunburn"-that chalky, peeling clear coat on the hood and roof where the UV rays have finally won the battle. You might also notice the paint feels a bit thin near the door handles. Don't worry; it's not failing, it's just showing its age. These spots are perfectly manageable as long as you catch them before they turn into a rust party.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Azurite Blue Metallic and your pearl finishes-are packed with tiny metallic flakes, they require a little "wake-up call." Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should get a workout). This ensures the "metallic" part of the metallic paint actually makes it onto the car instead of staying stuck at the bottom of the bottle.

When applying, think of it like nail polish: several thin, whispered layers are much better than one big, gloopy raindrop. If you're working on a pearl finish, remember that the "glow" comes from the depth, so give it ten minutes of drying time between your light dabs.
