Daihatsu Touch Up Paint
The Daihatsu small cars were very popular all around Asia for their efficiency and for the quality of their manufacturing. As a result, the company was the first Japanese automaker to start exporting its cars to the United Kingdom during the sixties. As the years went by, Daihatsu exports expanded towards all of Europe and eventually it made its entrance in the U.S. market in 1987 with the Charade model.
The next year, Toyota gained a controlling 51% share of the company. Following this event, Daihatsu exports have somewhat declined due to the fact that they are mostly replaced by Toyota badged cars. A few years later, when the Asian financial crisis hit, Daihatsu was forced to withdraw from Thailand where they used to have a plant. This happened a couple of years after the company retired from the U.S. market. This retreat was only short lived as Daihastu is now the provider of Scion vehicle for the American market.
The strong stance of the Japanese Yen has proven an obstacle to the company's progress in Europe, resulting in the company announcing in 2013, Daihatsu will retire from the European market.

What tools do I need for a Daihatsu touch up paint job?
To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:
PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.
WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.
SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.
POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.
These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.
