How much do you need to repaint a car body ?

The first thing to do is to roughly measure the size of the room by multiplying the width times the height. One can obtain for example for a left front wing, the measurement of 1 m in length multiplied by 0.5 m in height, which gives 0.5 m². To measure the size of a hood, 1.5 x 2 m² = 3m² for example. Of course, we will always try to round up to the next higher quantity.

Knowing that one liter of paint covers 10 m² and that we will apply two coats, we deduce that 1 liter covers 5 m² in the end in 2 coats.
The packaging available on our product pages are 250 ml, 500 ml, 1L kit, 2L kit. See the following paragraphs for details of the kits and to find out where to find the paint references on your bodywork.

DAIHATSU car color codes

The original paints of this brand are available in 2 versions :
• two-layer paint (also called base mat to varnish) for pearlescent and metallic paints obligatorily.
• gloss definition polyurethane lacquer (also called direct gloss 2C) for all simple and opaque colours.

All paints are available in a solvent-based version. It therefore allows faster drying, easier application and greater durability (double that of water-based paints).
The packaging is offered both for spray painters (paints in pot version) but also in aerosol paint (spray paint or 400ml spray) for those who do not have guns and who wish to carry out the application of painting without the help of a professional.

All the paints made with the DAIHATSU color codes are relatively easy to apply and they are standard shades, of the opaque type or for certain modern pearlescent and metallic shades.
Depending on the DAIHATSU color code, we will apply the paint differently :
If it is a metallic DAIHATSU color, then we will apply 3 to 4 thin coats, very quickly in succession, for example with 2 minutes of waiting between each layer.
If, on the contrary, it is an opaque shade, delivered in polyurethane lacquer version, then we will apply 2 thick and shiny coats, with a waiting time of 10 minutes between each coat.
Warning : when painting large parts, for example a bonnet or a front bumper, when using spray paint, take care to shake the spray well regularly, in order to benefit from a regular and sufficient flow of paint in terms of power. Aerosols work well on small parts, but on large parts they can give marbling defects, that is to say an uneven application.

The history of the manufacturer DAIHATSU

DAIHATSU is a Japanese automobile manufacturer whose founding year is March 1951. In truth, its activity dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, since the formation of the DAIHATSU company comes as a succession and restructuring of the old activity that carried another name and whose year of creation is 1907.
During the 1930s, the Japanese manufacturer essentially produced a kind of motor tricycle which was used for the transport of goods: the machine was a motorcycle equipped with a dumpster at the back with 2 wheels. It will take advantage of and be inspired by the innovations brought by the Americans with their factories opened in Japan, to develop and produce 4-wheeled automobiles. During the Second World War, the one that took place in Japan of course, the DAIHATSU factories were completely requisitioned by the government to participate in the war effort against the Americans. DAIHATSU will remain independent and produce several models which are successfully exported to the European continent until Toyota buys the major part of the company in 1927, under the influence of the government, which wishes to strengthen exports and the power of the Japanese automotive industry, by consolidating production efforts.
In 2013, DAIHATSU withdrew from the European market, highlighting difficulties with exports, and in particular because of exchange problems between currencies.
In 2011, DAIHATSU invested heavily in Indonesia in a project to produce low-cost cars, vehicles that are supposed to consume very little energy, "green" vehicles.
The Indonesian factory represents nearly 70,000 m², and from 2011, 100,000 vehicles are produced each year.
