Daihatsu All Models Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Daihatsu might be known for keeping things compact, but when it came to the palette, they didn't hold back. We have 14 distinct colors on record for these models. It's a mix that ranges from the business-casual Starlight Silver Metallic to the "look at me" energy of Bright Yellow and the deep, moody Black Mica. Whether you're driving a Champagne Metallic cruiser or a Purple Metallic head-turner, Daihatsu clearly decided that "small car" didn't have to mean "boring color."

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing paint in your driveway, you need to find your "North Star"-the paint code. On most Daihatsu models, you'll find this ID plate tucked away inside the engine compartment, usually mounted on the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) toward the center or passenger side. Look for a three-character code like "B30" or "S28."

As for the paint itself, these finishes are honest but can be a bit thin from the factory. Keep an eye on the roof and the leading edge of the hood; these areas are prone to "sunburn" (fading) or stone chips that can lead to flaking if left untreated. If you see a tiny chip, grab your kit-catching it early is the secret to keeping that factory shine without a headache.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Daihatsu colors are Metallics or Micas (like that Blue Metallic or Black Mica), your biggest job is the "The Great Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes love to heavy-nap at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the sparkles.

When applying, think of it like nail polish: thin, delicate layers are your best friend. If you're working with the Pearl White Tricoat, remember that this color "builds" its look. Don't try to get a perfect match in one go; apply a light layer, let it dry, and repeat. It requires a little extra patience, but your driveway results will look far better than a thick, gloopy blob.
