Isuzu Pickup Touch Up Paint (53 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu didn't just build a pickup; they built a rolling canvas with a color palette that would make an artist blush. With 75 recorded colors, they really went for it. You've got the reliable stalwarts like Pure White and Ebony Black, but then there are the absolute gems: Orchid Pink Metallic, Golden Glow Yellow, and California Rose. Whether you're driving a truck that's Seaside Beige Metallic or one of the eye-popping Two-Tone variants like the /826/857 combo, these trucks have serious character.

What to Watch For

While these trucks are built like tanks, their paint can be a little more sensitive. You'll find your paint code on a metal ID plate typically bolted to the firewall (the back wall of the engine bay, usually on the passenger side) or sometimes on the driver's door jamb. Keep an eye on the roof and the tops of the fenders; Isuzu's older single-stage reds, like Vivid Red, are famous for "chalking" or fading into a matte pink if they spend too much time in the sun. Also, the clear coat on those handsome metallics like Pewter Metallic has a habit of getting brittle and flaking off around the window edges and bed rails. It's not a disaster-it just means your truck is asking for a little driveway spa day.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Isuzu used a lot of pearls and metallics-think Jasper Green Pearl or Hyper Silver Metallic-the secret to a great match is all in the "The Great Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the touch-up bottle. Shake your pen or brush for a full two minutes (play a song, it helps) to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Dabbing a single "blob" usually ends up looking like a tiny mountain. Instead, use the tip of your applicator to place a thin layer, let it dry for ten minutes, and add another. It requires patience, but the results will look much smoother under the sun.
