Isuzu Vehicross Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu didn't just make a car with the VehiCROSS; they made a statement-and they chose 9 distinct colors to shout it. From the eye-searing Proton Yellow to the deep, mystical Dragon Green Pearl, they really went for it. If you aren't sporting one of those wild shades, you likely have one of the sophisticated metallics like Kaiser Silver or Foxfire Red Pearl. And let's not forget the heavy lifting done by the trim colors: Titan Gray and Iron Gray Metallic are the unsung heroes protecting that iconic lower cladding.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "passport" to the right shade. On the VehiCROSS, you'll usually find the paint code stamped on a metal ID plate located on the driver's side of the firewall (under the hood, near the back of the engine bay). Look for a three-digit number next to the "Color/Trim" heading.

The reality is that these rigs are aging explorers. Because of that aggressive hood slope, rock chips are the most common enemy, and if left alone, they can invite tiny rust spots to the party. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little tired on the roof or the hood scoop. Don't worry-as long as you've caught it before it starts flaking off like a bad sunburn, a little touch-up can go a long way.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Isuzu colors (especially that Dragon Green and Foxfire Red) rely on pearl and metallic flakes, your secret weapon is the "Big Shake." Shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-yes, time it-to wake up those heavy metallic particles that have settled at the bottom.

When you're filling a chip on that sloped hood, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Dab a tiny, thin layer into the center of the chip and let it dry for 15 minutes. Repeat this "layer cake" method until the paint is level with the rest of the surface. This prevents a giant "blob" from running down your beautiful Proton Yellow fenders while you're waiting for it to dry.
