Isuzu Amigo Touch Up Paint (47 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu really leaned into the "lifestyle" vibe with the Amigo, treating us to a massive palette of 47 colors that feel like they were picked by someone who owned a lot of neon windbreakers. They definitely went for it-where else are you going to find Orchid Pink Metallic, Sparky Blue, and Bright Raspberry Pearl on the same assembly line? Whether yours is the classic Alpine White or the delightfully 90s Copper Orange Pearl, it's a car that was built for personality, and your driveway repair should reflect that same spirit.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling with that touch-up brush, you need to find your "North Star"-the paint code. On the Amigo, this is usually hiding on a metal plate attached to the firewall (that metal wall behind the engine). Look on the passenger side or right in the center. If it's not there, check your glove box or the driver's side door jamb for a sticker.

The Amigo's paint has two common "enemies" you'll likely notice: the clear coat on the hood and roof tends to get flaky or peel over time, and the bright reds (like Radiant Red) are famous for turning a bit "chalky" or pinkish if they've spent years in the sun. If you see white splotchy areas where the paint feels rough, that's just the clear coat saying it needs some attention. Don't worry-it's manageable for a Saturday afternoon project.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Amigo colors are pearls or metallics (shoutout to Sunburst Orange Pearl), my number one rule is: Shake it like you mean it. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes before you even open it to wake up those sparkles.

When you're applying the paint to a chip, remember that "thin is in." Instead of one big glob that looks like a mountain on your hood, apply two or three paper-thin layers. Give it 10 to 15 minutes between each pass. These high-sparkle colors require patience to look their best, but taking it slow ensures your Amigo stays looking "Sparky" rather than "Splotchy."
