Isuzu Kaiser Silver Metallic (878/N909) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your VehiCROSS was designed to look like a concept car that escaped into the wild, and this color is the reason it still looks modern today. It is a hard, industrial silver that provides a sharp contrast against the heavy black body cladding. Your Isuzu has spent two decades in the elements, so the original finish has likely shifted from the factory standard. Approach your repair with a focus on blending to account for that age and sun exposure.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that determine how light bounces off the panel. The primary risk with this silver is mottling-those dark splotches or stripes that appear when the flakes do not lay down in a uniform pattern. Silver is a reflective surface, and any area where the paint is applied in thick layers will appear darker than the rest of the car. You want a consistent flow to ensure the metal particles stay where they belong.

Best Practices

Look for your paint ID plate on the engine firewall or inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Kaiser Silver Metallic (check for code 878/N909), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to see the silver reaction to the light in your workspace. Whether you use a brush or a nozzle, keep the container moving to avoid build-up. If you work in your garage or a patch of shade, give the paint plenty of drying time between layers so the finish settles into a smooth look.
