Dacia, the Romanian automotive manufacturer, has come a long way since launching its first vehicle — the Dacia 1100 — in the late 1960s. Initially a licence-built version of the Renault 8, Dacia vehicles were designed with practicality in mind, often available in a narrow range of colours due to the limited resources of the time.
During the 1970s and '80s, Dacia expanded its offerings with models like the 1300 and 1310. Although the paint quality in those early years was basic by today’s standards, it served its purpose: durable, economical, and suited to the Eastern European climate. As the brand entered the global market, especially after its acquisition by Renault in 1999, Dacia dramatically improved its manufacturing standards — including paint technology.
Today, modern Dacias — such as the Sandero, Duster, and Jogger — feature sophisticated finishes using high-quality base coats, metallic options, and protective clear coats. The aim is to offer long-lasting shine and resistance to the UK's unpredictable weather, all while keeping costs reasonable for consumers.
