COLOR CODE20U - Pacific Blue MetallicDaewoo Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents the peak of early 2000s design, back when the Nubria and Lanos dominated the entry-level market with a bit of unexpected personality. On a Lanos Sport, this blue feels energetic, but on a standard sedan, it is more of a sensible, deep ocean tone. Because your car has lived through two decades of sun and weather, the original pigment has likely shifted. When you apply fresh paint to an older panel, it might look slightly darker than the faded surfaces around it. This is a common blue that hides road grime well, but it demands a clean surface to show off its depth.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. These flakes are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a flat blue that lacks the factory shimmer. Metallics also carry a risk of mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark spots or stripes. To avoid this, keep the container moving and maintain a steady pace. Before you spray or dab Daewoo Pacific Blue Metallic (check for code 20U), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic particles are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint identification plate under the hood, mounted directly to the center of the radiator support bar or the firewall. Before you start the repair, test the color on the included card to see how it reacts to your technique. If you are using a pen or brush, apply the paint in thin, light layers rather than one thick glob. For those using a can, maintain a consistent spray distance and flow to prevent the paint from sagging. Give the area plenty of drying time between coats. Since this is a basecoat, the finish will look dull until you apply a clear coat to bring back the gloss and protect the metallic flakes from the elements.
