Daewoo Tacuma Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Daewoo Tacuma is a car that refuses to be ignored, and its paint catalog proves it. With 24 recorded colors, Daewoo really went for it-offering everything from the bold Yellow Green Metallic and Sunset Orange Mica to the more mysterious Dark Wine Purple. Whether you're driving a Galaxy White family hauler or a Sports Blue Metallic weekend warrior, there is a lot of personality packed into these pigments.

What to Watch For

Before you start your repair, pop the hood. You'll find your paint code stamped on a plate located on the front radiator support bar (the metal crossmember right behind the latch). Keep an eye out for "the pink shift"-Daewoo reds like Super Red and Active Red Metallic are notorious for fading into a chalky pink if they've spent too much time in the sun. You may also notice the clear coat starting to lift on the roof or the top of the door handles. Don't worry, though; catching these spots early with a touch-up pen can stop the peeling in its tracks.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these colors, like Red Rock Mica and Yellow Green Effect, use specialized metallic flakes that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. To get a true match, shake your touch-up pen for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired. A pro-trick for a smooth finish: place the sealed paint bottle in a cup of warm (not boiling) tap water for five minutes before you use it. This thins the paint just enough to help it flow smoothly into the scratch rather than sitting on top like a heavy blob. Apply two thin coats instead of one thick one, and you'll be back on the road in no time.
