Daewoo Leganza Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Daewoo didn't hold back when they launched the Leganza. With 15 recorded colors, they were clearly aiming for a "flagship" feel. You might be working with the crisp Galaxy White, the surprisingly bold Lemon Yellow, or the sophisticated Dark Wine Purple. They really went for it with the metallics, too-options like Brighton Gold Metallic and Tropic Green Metallic give this sedan a level of depth you might not expect from a vintage commuter.
What to Watch For
The Leganza was built for value, and as these cars age, the clear coat-that shiny top layer-can start to look a little "tired" on the roof and trunk. You'll also want to keep an eye on the door handles, where the paint likes to chip away from frequent use. To get started, you need your paint code. Pop the hood and look directly at the radiator support bar (the metal frame right above the radiator). You should find a silver identification plate there. If it's not there, check the center of the firewall at the back of the engine bay. That little 3-digit code (like 92U or 11U) is your ticket to a perfect match.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many Leganza colors are metallic or pearl-like Poly Silver Metallic or White Pearl-those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least two full minutes before you open it; you want those flakes dancing, not hibernating. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: one thick blob will never dry right. Use two or three very thin layers, waiting about 20 minutes between each. These colors require patience, but the results are worth the wait.
