COLOR CODEB-68P - Pacific Blue PearlIsuzu Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are likely driving an Isuzu Oasis, which makes your van a rare survivor of the mid-90s collaboration between Isuzu and Honda. This color is a time capsule from an era when manufacturers finally mastered the art of adding depth to blue. It reflects the sky during the day and turns nearly black in the shade. Since your vehicle has been facing the elements for nearly thirty years, the existing paint has likely shifted from its original factory tone. This blue is deep and forgiving with dirt, but it rewards a clean surface by showing off its inner glow.

Technical Details

This finish is a true Pearl, meaning it contains mica flakes that act like tiny prisms. These flakes are what give the color its character, but they are also why you need to be careful during application. If you pile the paint on too thick in one spot, the micas will sink and create dark patches or shadows. The goal is to let the light bounce off those flakes evenly. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Pacific Blue Pearl (check for code B-68P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pearl particles are suspended in the mix rather than sitting at the bottom of the container.

Best Practices

To verify your match, look for the identification sticker on the driver's side door jamb or the firewall behind the engine. Before you touch the car, test the color on the included card. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving at all times to avoid "tiger stripes" where the pearl builds up too heavily. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes to keep the flakes flat. Give the basecoat enough drying time to lose its wet look before you apply a clear coat to lock in that 90s shine.
