Isuzu I Mark Touch Up Paint (31 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu didn't just make a commuter car with the I-Mark; they gave us a rolling 1980s mood board. With 31 recorded colors, they really went for it. We're talking about everything from the moody Gothic Brown Metallic and Phantom Gray Metallic to absolute neon-adjacent statements like Vivid Yellow and Dark Fire Opal Metallic. Whether yours is a "sensible" Cameo White or a high-energy Spectra Red, your I-Mark was designed to stand out in a parking lot full of beige-even if that beige was technically their own Champagne Beige Metallic.

What to Watch For

Now, these cars were born in an era when car companies were still figuring out how to make paint play nice with the environment. Because of that, the I-Mark is a bit of a survivor. You'll likely notice the paint on the hood and roof starting to look a little "chalky" or peeling like a bad sunburn-that's just the old-school clear coat giving up the ghost after decades in the sun. If you're hunting for your paint code to fix those spots, pop the hood and look at the metal firewall plate (the wall between you and the engine). It's usually stamped right there next to the "Color/Trim" heading. If it's not there, check the driver's side door jamb or the inside of the glove box lid.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of those 80s metallics like Cannon Metallic or Sky Blue, remember that the "magic" is actually tiny bits of metal flake sitting at the bottom of your bottle. Before you touch that brush to the car, shake the bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean "shake it like you're winning a marathon" 60 seconds. This wakes up those heavy sparkles so they actually end up on your car instead of staying at the bottom of the tube. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." Two or three light dabs are always better than one big, gloppy teardrop.
