Isuzu Pure White (811/W701) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade is the ultimate blank canvas for your 1991 project. It was the face of the early 90s off-road movement, looking just as at home on an Amigo with the top down as it did on a hardworking Pickup. It provides a crisp, sterile look that makes the utilitarian design of the Rodeo and the sporty lines of the Impulse feel intentional. Because it is such a stark, bright white, it creates a massive amount of contrast against the heavy black plastic trim and wheel flares common on Isuzus from this era.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about. The benefit for you is a straightforward repair; you will not have to deal with weird mottling or uneven shading that usually plagues metallic paints. The drawback is that a pure solid white is a magnet for visible road grime, iron fallout, and tar. Since your Isuzu has likely been through three decades of sun and mud, you should expect that your original factory paint has yellowed slightly compared to the fresh pigment in your new container.

Best Practices

You can typically find your paint code on a silver identification plate riveted to the center of the firewall in the engine compartment or occasionally on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Pure White (check for code 811/W701), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. To ensure the best match against 30-year-old paint, always test the color on the included card first. When you begin the repair in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at all times to avoid build-up. Apply several thin layers rather than one heavy one, and give each layer plenty of drying time to ensure the finish remains flat and durable.
