Daewoo Lanos Sport Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Daewoo didn't just make a budget hatchback; they gave us a palette that suggests they were having a lot more fun than the competition. With 13 colors recorded for the Lanos Sport, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the zingy Lemon Yellow and Yellow Green Metallic to the more buttoned-up Galaxy White and Storm Gray Metallic. Whether yours is a vibrant Pacific Blue or a classic Super Red, these colors were designed to punch above their weight class on the road.

What to Watch For

If you're looking for your paint code, pop the hood and look straight at the radiator support bar (the metal frame running across the very front of the engine bay). You're looking for a three-character code like "92U" or "11U." Now, a word of advice: Daewoo paint from this era can be a bit sensitive. Keep an eye out for small stone chips on the hood or roof; on these cars, a tiny chip can sometimes invite the surrounding paint to start "lifting" or peeling in larger flakes. If you see a spot that looks like it's bubbling or pulling away, that's your signal to step in before it decides to take a vacation off your fender.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Lanos Sport colors-like Poly Silver or Tropic Green-are packed with metallic flakes, your biggest secret weapon is a good workout for your arm. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 full seconds to wake up those heavy metallic particles that love to settle at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Instead of trying to fill a deep chip with one giant, gloopy mountain of paint, dab in a tiny bit, let it dry, and come back for a second layer. It takes a little more time, but it keeps the repair level with the rest of your car rather than looking like a colorful Speed Bump.
