Where to find Isuzu color code

How to Find Your Isuzu's Color Code

Isuzu can be contacted to determine the color code. If there is no color code, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number may be requested. Common places to look are on the drivers door jamb, the trunk and under the hood.

Your Paint Color Profile

Parthenon Ivory

The Look

This is not the sterile, bright white you see on modern appliances. It is a creamy, warm ivory that defined the rugged elegance of the late eighties. Whether it is coating the boxy lines of your Trooper or the sculpted curves of an Impulse, this shade carries a vintage utility that looks right at home in a muddy field or a gravel driveway. Because your Isuzu has likely seen decades of sun and road grit, the original finish has probably mellowed. This color is fantastic at hiding light dust and trail pin-striping, but if you let it get too grimed up, it can lose its depth and start looking like old parchment.

Technical Details

You are working with a Solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl additives to worry about here, which makes the actual color matching much simpler. However, solid colors like this present their own challenge: they can be prone to "haloing" if you do not blend the edges carefully. Since there is no sparkle to distract the eye, any heavy buildup will be visible as a raised ridge. You also need to keep a close watch for contamination; even a tiny speck of dust will stand out against this flat, light background.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Isuzu Parthenon Ivory (check for code 809), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will usually find that code stamped on a metal plate on the firewall inside the engine compartment, though you should also check the driver's side door jamb or the inside of the glove box. Since this paint has a high pigment load, it needs to be mixed thoroughly to ensure the creaminess is consistent. Test the color on the included card and let it reach its full drying time before comparing it to your fender. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy pooling, and work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from setting too fast.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Isuzu Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Isuzu is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Isuzu color code '809' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
