Isuzu All Terrain Blue (48/WA406P) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Finding this color on the road is a rare event. Since your i290 or i370 was part of the final run for the Isuzu i-series, this shade is essentially a ghost from 2009. It is a deep, stoic blue with a heavy gray undertone that leans into its rugged namesake. It was designed to look professional even when covered in dust. Because your truck has been facing the elements for over fifteen years, the original finish has likely shifted slightly from its factory state. This means your repair might look a bit brighter than the weathered panels around it, but a good polish after the final drying time will help the old and new surfaces get along.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which introduces a specific challenge for your repair. The color relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. If these flakes aren't distributed evenly, the repair will look blotchy or darker in some spots. This is known as mottling. To avoid this, you must maintain a consistent spray distance and keep the container moving. If you are using a pen or brush for a small chip, dab the paint rather than wiping it to keep the metallic flakes from bunching up at the edges of the repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Isuzu All Terrain Blue (check for code 48/WA406P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should hear the mixing ball rattling the entire time to ensure those metallic flakes are off the bottom. You can find your official code on the silver sticker inside the glove box; look for the "WA" prefix at the bottom of the label. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the truck to ensure the pigment is fully mixed. Work in a cool garage or the shade, as direct sunlight will make the paint dry too fast and leave a rough texture. Apply thin layers and give each one plenty of drying time to ensure the finish stays flat and smooth.
