Isuzu Dark Regatta (759/B409) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This deep, nautical blue defined the 1994-1995 Isuzu Pickup era. It is a professional tone that avoids the flashy brightness of modern blues, staying true to its work-truck roots. Since your vehicle has been on the road for nearly thirty years, you will likely notice that the original finish has deepened or slightly flattened from decades of sun exposure. This color was designed to handle the dust of a job site while still looking sharp after a quick wash.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is filled with tiny flakes that catch the light. These flakes are heavier than the liquid pigment and will settle at the bottom of the container almost immediately. If you do not mix them thoroughly, your repair will look like a flat, dark smudge instead of a shimmering blue. Metallics are also prone to "mottling," where the flakes group together in uneven clusters. You can prevent this by ensuring your layers are thin and even rather than heavy and wet.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a metal plate attached to the firewall, usually on the driver or passenger side of the engine compartment. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Dark Regatta (check for code 759/B409), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to suspend those metallic flakes properly. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down before you touch the truck. When applying the paint with the nozzle or pen, keep the container moving to avoid a streaky effect. Give each layer enough drying time so the surface is not tacky before you apply the next. If you are working in a Garage or under Shade, make sure you have plenty of light to see the flake orientation.
