COLOR CODE0172/P1 - Glacier WhiteIsuzu Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule from the mid-eighties, defined by the era when the Isuzu I-Mark was a staple of practical transportation. It is a crisp, honest white that lacks the complex undertones or creaminess found in modern palettes. Because your car has lived through nearly four decades of weather, the original finish has likely shifted toward a warmer or yellower tone due to sun exposure. When you apply fresh paint to a survivor from 1985, the new pigment will often appear brighter and sharper than the surrounding panels. This is a functional shade that highlights the geometric lines of a classic Japanese subcompact, though it is a magnet for road grime and iron fallout.

Technical Details

You are working with a traditional solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl additives to worry about, which simplifies your job because you do not have to worry about the orientation of the particles. The challenge with a solid white is its high visibility; it hides nothing. While the color itself is straightforward to match, any debris or texture issues will stand out against the flat, bright surface. Since there is no metallic depth to distract the eye, your focus should be entirely on achieving a level surface that matches the thickness of the original factory coat.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for the metal identification plate located on the firewall inside the engine compartment or on the radiator support bar. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Glacier White (check for code 0172/P1), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure the heavy white pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card and let it sit for the full drying time to see the final shade. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up in one spot. Always work in a garage or the shade to ensure the metal surface is cool, which prevents the paint from drying too fast and leaving a rough texture.
