After having determined what is exactly your paint reference among the color codes of Asian cars in general and the color codes of Daewoo cars in particular, you can order this paint.

The products needed to carry out your painting work according to the DAEWOO color code are above all the paint, the primer and the varnish. These last two products are in most cases optional, we will explain why.

The primer is necessary under certain conditions: it is not necessary when the current paint is in good condition and it is essential when the paint has large scratches, or when a filler has been applied. In this case, the primer makes it possible to find a perfectly smooth surface, because the application of a Daewoo paint, directly above the scratches or the filler, will not allow the defects to run, and these will be always visible.

Bodywork clearcoat is only necessary following the application of a basecoat type paint. It ensures the protection of all layers of paint and also of the metal bodywork. The bodywork clearcoat is not necessary if a direct gloss type paint or 2C polyurethane lacquer has been used.

In the second case, that is to say with the use of a direct gloss paint according to the Daewoo color code, there is a single step, which is carried out in 2 glossy coats spaced 10 minutes apart .

The history of the manufacturer DAEWOO

Daewoo is a Korean company that was founded in 1967. This company is experiencing rapid growth and very strong diversification. Today, the group operates in various fields of industry, as varied as construction, armaments, household appliances, electronics and of course, in the subject of the article that concerns us, construction. of automobiles. Daewoo specializes in particular in the construction of vehicles and machinery for industry. It also designs container ships, freighters, as well as tankers and even planes.
The company has quite exceptional and quite diversified skills. Thus, it will even begin to produce computers or firearms. However, this company is supported by the government and has a high level of debt.

Daewoo was dissolved by the South Korean government in 1999, following a fraudulent bankruptcy, for which its leader landed in prison. The group was therefore split up and renamed. His activities of course still exist.
In 2005, the Korean brand disappeared to become Chevrolet. Indeed, the entire automotive branch of Daewoo has been purchased by the American automotive giant, allowing it to expand and reduce costs by establishing a solid foothold in Asia.

For DAEWOO vehicles, the color code plate (vinplate) can be found on the front cross member in the engine compartment.
You can take help from the images provided below which illustrates the location. The color code is always composed of three characters (letters or numbers).

Did you know that most paints* can be applied to the old bottom (paint or varnish present on the bodywork) ? A light sanding with 400 with water is enough to create a good adhesion. No, do not sand with a grit larger than 500, because beyond that, no grip can be ensured correctly with the overpaint.
No, no sanding marks will be visible after sanding with 400 or 500.

The emblematic colors of DAEWOO cars

Nowadays, the Daewoo color list is common with that of the database of Chevrolet, the American brand.

Color code     Color name                                     Brand Year Operation

04U                 Urban Gray Daewoo/Chevrolet     2006 - 2012
05U                 Misty Blue Daewoo/Chevrolet       2006 - 2008
6u                    Flame Red Daewoo/Chevrolet      2006 - 2012
