COLOR CODE32U/WA155L - Pastel Blue MetallicDaewoo Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Choosing this color for the Tacuma was a choice by Daewoo to lean into the approachable aesthetic designed by the Pininfarina studio. It is a soft blue that avoids being loud but remains visible on a crowded street. Since your car came from the mid-2000s transition period where Daewoo joined General Motors, this shade represents a bridge between classic styling and modern palettes. It is a practical color that hides road dust, though the finish depends on the health of your clear topcoat after years of exposure to the elements.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, packed with tiny reflective flakes. The challenge here is the way those flakes settle. If you apply the paint in a heavy layer, the flakes will sink or bunch together, which creates dark streaks or cloudy patches in the finish. To avoid this, you must prioritize thin layers that allow the metallic particles to lay flat. This ensures the blue looks consistent from every angle rather than appearing striped or uneven.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Daewoo Pastel Blue Metallic (check for code 32U/WA155L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to mix the metallic particles. You will find the paint code on the radiator support bar or the firewall in the engine bay. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to confirm the shade matches. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains steady and the flakes stay balanced. Work in a garage or the shade to prevent the sun from hardening the paint before it can level out. Allow enough drying time between passes so the paint can set without runs.
