Isuzu Silver Beige Metallic (824) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Trooper or Stylus was built when Isuzu was dominating the rugged utility market, this shade has likely seen plenty of miles. It sits in that sweet spot between a warm silver and a light champagne, which is exactly why it was a staple for the two-tone Truck designs of the late 1980s. This color is a practical choice for a vehicle that actually gets used, as it hides dust and road grime better than almost any other finish from that decade. It gives your Isuzu a sophisticated, utilitarian vibe that ages gracefully even after years of exposure to the elements.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, meaning there are tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch the light. While these particles provide the depth you want, they also require a steady hand. If the flakes are not distributed evenly, you might see mottling or dark, cloudy patches where the metal has clumped together. To avoid this, you need to ensure each layer is thin and consistent so the flakes can lay flat. A heavy application will cause the metallic bits to "swim" and settle unevenly, which ruins the factory look of the panel.

Best Practices

Before you apply your Isuzu Silver Beige Metallic (look for code 824 on the firewall under the hood or inside the glove box), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least two full minutes. This is non-negotiable for a metallic; those flakes need to be fully suspended to match the original finish. To get the best results, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and always test the color on the included card first. This allows you to check the flow and ensure the metallic pattern looks right before you start your repair. Always work in a garage or the shade, and allow plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color safely.
