COLOR CODE04/WA402N - Urban Gray MetallicDaewoo Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Tacuma was built for the practical side of life, and this shade reflects that mission perfectly. As a quintessential mid-2000s neutral, this color was designed to blend into the landscape while doing a heavy lift in hiding the dust and road grime of a daily commute. Since your car has likely been on the road since 2006, the original finish has weathered its fair share of sun and rain. This gray is not meant to be loud; it is a functional, stoic choice that makes a repair feel intuitive once you match the subtle metallic depth of the surrounding panels.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint relies on tiny flakes suspended in the pigment to give it life. Metallics can be temperamental because those flakes need to settle evenly to look right. If the paint is applied too heavily or too quickly, you run the risk of mottling, where the flakes cluster into dark or cloudy patches. Because the metallic particles are heavier than the pigment, they will naturally sink if given the chance. Your goal is to keep them suspended so they catch the light just like the factory finish did when it first rolled off the line.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for the identification plate on the radiator support bar or the center of the firewall under the hood. Since your vehicle has aged for nearly two decades, you must account for potential fading. Before you spray or dab Daewoo Urban Gray Metallic (check for code 04/WA402N), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute the metallic flakes. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade aligns with your current finish. When applying, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow and prevent pooling. Work in a garage or a patch of shade to avoid direct sunlight, and allow for plenty of drying time between light layers to achieve a professional-looking repair.
