2004 Isuzu Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Isuzu Vibe

Back in 2004, Isuzu was sending its last love letters to the SUV market. Whether you were piloting the futuristic, "love-it-or-hate-it" Axiom, the workhorse Rodeo, or the rebadged-but-robust Ascender, you were driving the end of an era. The color palette of the year was a masterclass in mid-2000s "business casual." We've locked down the survivors of that year, focusing on the heavy hitters like Onyx Black and the ultra-era-appropriate Natural Suede Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were the earthy, metallic uniforms of a brand that was built to last longer than the dealership network that sold them.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Peeling Era. By 2004, the industry had mastered the depth of the basecoat/clearcoat system, but the bond between the two was sometimes more of a suggestion than a commitment. If your Isuzu has spent any significant time under the sun, you're likely seeing the dreaded "delamination"-that's when the clear coat starts flaking off like a bad case of road-rash sunburn. Once the clear lifts and the basecoat hits the air, it's a race against time before your Mineral Silver Metallic or Dark Bronzemist turns into a chalky, oxidized mess that no amount of wax can save.

Restoration Tip

If you still have clear coat left on your 2004 Isuzu, you're one of the lucky ones-now act like it. The secret to keeping this era of paint alive is sealing the breach. If you see a rock chip, do not "get to it later." Once moisture and air wedge themselves under that clear coat, they'll peel it back like a sardine can. Use a high-quality touch-up to seal those chips immediately. By closing the gap between the base and the environment, you stop the delamination process in its tracks and keep that factory shine from flaking into the wind.
