Isuzu Axiom Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu didn't just make a SUV with the Axiom; they made a statement piece. They backed up that bold, futuristic styling with a palette of 14 distinct colors. They really went for it with names like Excessive Red Mica (which sounds like a dare) and the surprisingly upscale Star Gold Metallic. Whether you're rocking Garden Green Pearl or the sleek Powellite Silver Metallic, these colors were designed to catch the light and prove that Isuzu wasn't afraid to stand out from the beige crowd.

What to Watch For

While the Axiom looks great, the "But" in this scenario is the clear coat. Over time, the sun can be a bit of a bully to Isuzu's finish, especially on the flat surfaces like the hood and the roof. You might notice the paint starting to look a little cloudy or even flaking away in small sections. If you've got one of the red shades, keep a close eye out-those pigments love to soak up UV rays and can fade if they lose their protective top layer. To get your fix started, you'll need your code. Check the glove box first; Isuzu loved hiding the ID plate in there. If it's not there, take a peek at the driver's side door jamb or under the hood on the firewall. Look for a three-digit number next to the "Color" or "Paint" heading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Axiom colors are Pearls or Metallics, the "secret sauce" is in the bottle-literally. All those tiny flakes of mica and metal settle at the bottom of your touch-up pen or jar. Before you touch the car, shake that bottle for a full two minutes. If your arm isn't tired, you haven't shaken it long enough! When you apply it, resist the urge to fill the chip in one go. Dabbing on three very thin layers is the best way to keep the color even and prevent the repair from looking like a dark spot. Patience here is what separates a "driveway fix" from a "invisible repair."
