Isuzu Blond Gray Metallic (704/N109) Touch Up Paint

The Look

The Axiom was Isuzu's attempt at a futuristic crossover, and this color was its calling card. It is a warm, technical shade that sits somewhere between a classic silver and a champagne gold. Since your Axiom has likely spent over twenty years on the road, the finish on the body might have shifted toward a warmer hue due to sun exposure. It is a practical color for a daily driver because it hides light dust and road salt quite well, but it reveals its true character in the direct sun when the metallic particles wake up.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the appearance is driven by thousands of tiny aluminum flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes are notoriously picky; if you apply the paint too heavily in one pass, they will mottle or clump together, creating dark, blotchy shadows. To keep the finish looking uniform in your garage, you must keep the container moving across the surface at a steady pace. This ensures the flakes lay down flat and reflect light evenly across the repair area rather than pooling into metallic stripes.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Isuzu Blond Gray Metallic (check for code 704/N109), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will usually find your paint code on the identification plate located on the driver-side door jamb or on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Because the metallic flakes in this color are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the reservoir, that full minute of shaking is mandatory to get the right blond-to-gray ratio. Always test the color on the included card first. This allows you to see how the metallic behaves and ensures your layering technique matches the rest of the car. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats to prevent the layers from running.
