2010 Daihatsu Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2010 Daihatsu Vibe

Welcome to 2010-the year the world decided every car should be a silver or grey "safe bet." But Daihatsu was still out here playing the scrappy underdog with punchy little boxes like the Sirion, the Materia, and the go-anywhere Terios. While the rest of the world went dull, we've focused our collection on the true survivors of the era: the radiant Pearl White Tricoat and that high-visibility Yellow. These weren't just colors; they were personality statements for drivers who refused to blend into the commute.

Paint Health Check

We are officially in the Thin Paint Era. By 2010, the robots in the factory had become frighteningly efficient. They weren't spraying paint anymore; they were applying a mathematical whisper of pigment and clear coat. This "Robot Efficiency" means your Daihatsu has zero fat on its bones. The clear coat is remarkably thin, which makes it a magnet for stone chips. Once those chips pierce the clear, moisture finds the metal faster than a Terios finds a mud puddle. If you're rocking the Pearl White Tricoat, you're dealing with a sophisticated multi-stage finish that looks deep but lacks the "bulletproof" thickness of the old-school lacquers.

Restoration Tip

Since your factory finish is laid on so thin, the biggest mistake you can make is "blobbing" your repair. If you drop a giant bead of paint into a chip, it'll stand out like a mountain on a prairie. Build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tipped applicator and apply thin, translucent passes, allowing them to tack up in between. For the Pearl White, remember it's a game of depth-don't rush the process. If you take your time and build the level up gradually, you'll match that factory-thin profile without leaving a visible scar.
