38/WA215M - Emerald Jewel MetallicIsuzu Touch Up Paint

The Look

The Ascender was a unique chapter in Isuzu history, and this deep, woodsy green was its most sophisticated outfit. It is a rich, forest-toned shade that feels right at home on a rugged SUV, though because Isuzu only offered it for a brief window, you will not see many others like it on the road. After two decades of sun and rain, your original finish has likely lost some of its luster, so a fresh application will breathe life back into the panels and restore that upscale, outdoorsy character.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it is packed with microscopic flakes that reflect light at different angles to create depth. The main challenge with this specific paint is mottling-those dark stripes or blotches that appear if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. If the layer is too thick, the flakes cannot lay flat, and the green will look uneven or "dirty." It is critical to build the color with light, even layers rather than trying to cover the damage all at once.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Isuzu Emerald Jewel Metallic (check for code 38/WA215M), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute. Those metallic flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the reservoir. You can usually find your code on the service sticker located inside the glove box. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle and how the green reacts to the light in your garage. When you move to the vehicle, keep the container moving at all times to ensure a steady flow, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the metallic particles from clumping.
