Daewoo Matiz Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Daewoo Matiz might be small, but its personality is huge, and the color palette definitely proves it. Daewoo really "went for it" with 12 recorded colors that range from the sensible Casablanca White Clearcoat to the downright bold Cyber Green Metallic and Golden Yellow Pearl Metallic. Whether your car is dressed in the moody Dark Sapphire or the punchy Super Red, these colors were designed to make this "city car" stand out in a crowded parking lot.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that touch-up cap, you need to find your code to ensure you aren't putting "slightly-off-red" on your Super Red. You'll usually find the paint code stamped on a metal plate located on the firewall (the back wall of the engine bay) or occasionally on the radiator support bar right at the front. Keep a close eye on the wheel arches and the bottom of the doors; the Matiz is known for being a bit of a "rust magnet" in those spots. If you see the paint starting to bubble or peel away, don't worry-it's just the car showing its age, and a quick touch-up is exactly what the doctor ordered to keep that metal protected.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many Matiz shades like Tropic Green Pearl and Orange Metallic are packed with tiny metallic flakes, your bottle needs a workout. Shake that touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds to "wake up" the sparkles so they don't all stay at the bottom. When you're applying the paint, think of it like nail polish: thin layers are your best friend. Instead of one giant glob that looks like a grape, dab on two or three tiny, thin coats. It requires a little patience, but it will look much smoother once it dries under the sun.
