Isuzu Natural Suede Metallic (15/WA929L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Isuzu Ascender comes from an era when SUVs were transitioning from rugged workhorses into family-friendly explorers. This specific shade reflects that shift perfectly. It is a grounded, earthy tan that avoids the flat look of basic beige by adding a layer of sophisticated grit. Since your Isuzu has likely spent nearly two decades facing the elements, you will notice that this color is exceptionally forgiving. It hides road dust and light scratches better than almost any other pigment from the mid-2000s. While it might not turn heads at a car show, it keeps your vehicle looking clean and respectable even when you haven't had time for a wash.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the pigment to catch the light. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Natural Suede Metallic (check for code 15/WA929L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Metallics are notorious for mottling, which happens when those flakes cluster together in uneven patches, making the repair look darker or striped compared to the original paint. Because your Ascender is a few years old, the original finish might have shifted slightly due to sun exposure. To get the best results, you must ensure those flakes lay down flat and even, rather than standing on edge or sinking to the bottom of the repair.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which Isuzu typically tucked inside the glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Once you have confirmed the match, work in a cool garage to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes settle before you touch the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow. Apply several light layers rather than one heavy coat. If you pile the paint on too thick, the metallic particles will drift and ruin the factory look. Give the repair plenty of drying time between coats to ensure the finish stays durable and flush with the surrounding panels.
