836/B807 - Caprice Blue MetallicIsuzu Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a pure slice of late-nineties adventure. It carries a deep, aquatic tone that perfectly suited the rugged lines of the Rodeo and the open-air spirit of the Amigo. It is not quite a navy and not quite a teal, but a sophisticated middle ground that feels substantial. Since your Isuzu has likely been on the road for over two decades, the original finish might have a slight patina from the sun. This color is remarkably forgiving for minor repairs, but it relies on that deep blue depth to look its best in the shade.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and create that characteristic shimmer. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Caprice Blue Metallic (check for code 836/B807), you need to understand how those flakes behave. If you apply the paint too heavily in one pass, the metallic particles tend to bunch together, creating dark spots or a mottled effect. If you apply it too thin, the finish can look dry or dull. Success with this color is all about finding the right rhythm to let the flakes settle evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on the identification plate located on the firewall at the back of the engine compartment, though it is sometimes placed on the driver's side door pillar. Because the metallic flakes in this formula are heavy, they settle at the bottom of the container. Shake your container vigorously for at least a full minute to ensure the color is uniform. Test the color on the included card before you move to the vehicle to confirm the match against your existing paint. While applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid puddling. Allow for plenty of drying time between layers in your garage to let the metallic structure lock into place before you apply a clear topcoat.
