COLOR CODE96/WA8867 - Ultra Silver MetallicIsuzu Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a hallmark of the mid-nineties partnership between Isuzu and General Motors. Since your Hombre has likely spent the last few decades working hard or weathering the elements, you will find this shade to be one of the most practical colors ever put on a truck. It does a fine job of masking light road dust and minor surface scratches. Because it lacks the high-contrast drama of a deep black or a bright red, it offers a clean, professional appearance that keeps the lines of your vehicle looking sharp without demanding a weekly wash.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes of aluminum to give the paint its characteristic depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of your container quickly. If you do not keep the flakes suspended, you risk creating dark patches or tiger stripes on your panel. This uneven look happens when the metal particles clump together rather than laying flat. It is a durable finish once dry, but it requires a steady hand and consistent movement to ensure the silver looks uniform across the entire repair area.

Best Practices

On the Hombre, you can usually find your paint information on the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab Isuzu Ultra Silver Metallic (check for code 96/WA8867), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing is the only way to get those metallic flakes moving. To avoid the splotchy look often seen in silver repairs, keep the container moving in steady passes and avoid letting the paint puddle in one spot. Always test the color on the included card to see how the fresh paint looks against your truck's current finish, as three decades of sun exposure can slightly change how the silver presents.
