COLOR CODE05/WA404N - Misty Blue MetallicDaewoo Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a rare relic from a very specific window in 2006, primarily seen on the Tacuma. It captures that airy, understated aesthetic of the mid-2000s, sitting somewhere between a morning fog and a pale summer sky. Because your car has likely spent nearly two decades on the road, the finish has probably matured into a soft, muted tone that is surprisingly forgiving when it comes to hiding road dust and minor surface imperfections.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny light-reflecting flakes. The biggest risk with this type of paint is mottling-the tendency for those flakes to cluster together and create dark, uneven patches. To prevent this, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and uniform. If the finish looks striped or blotchy, it usually means the paint was applied too heavily in one spot or the container wasn't shaken enough to distribute the metallic particles.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code plate under the hood, typically mounted to the center of the radiator support or the firewall. Before you apply Daewoo Misty Blue Metallic (verify your code is 05/WA404N), shake the container for at least two minutes to fully integrate the metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card first to see how it matches the aged paint on your panels. When you begin, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to maintain a consistent flow. Allow for plenty of drying time between thin layers so the metallic particles can lock into place without shifting.
