Isuzu Dark Brahma Jewel Metallic (12/WA519Q) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are likely looking at this paint because you own an Isuzu Ascender from its final years on the market. Since your vehicle shares its DNA with GM's mid-2000s SUV lineup, it carries one of the more sophisticated earth tones of that era. This color is a deep, moody brown with a heavy metallic presence that shifts under direct light. It's a grounded choice that hides road dust and highway grime remarkably well, making it a practical shade for a daily driver that still wants to look upscale when it's clean in the driveway.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means your paint contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. The biggest risk here is mottling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those metallic flakes will clump together, creating dark, blotchy patches that look like bruises on the finish. Because of the dark pigment, any inconsistency in how the metal flakes settle will be obvious. You want to avoid a heavy, wet look; instead, aim for even coverage that allows the flakes to lay flat and uniform across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Isuzu Dark Brahma Jewel Metallic (check for code 12/WA519Q), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallic paints because the heavy flakes settle at the bottom of the container quickly. You can find your specific code on the service parts sticker, which is most commonly located inside your glove box or on the driver-side door jamb. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and avoid buildup. Test the color on the included card before you start on the vehicle to ensure the metallic density matches your existing panels. Work in the shade, and give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish builds depth without becoming muddy.
