Isuzu i290/i370 Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Isuzu kept the palette tight for the i290 and i370 with a total of 12 recorded colors, but they certainly didn't play it safe. While most trucks of this era were a sea of beige, Isuzu really went for it with head-turners like Yellow and Copper Orange Metallic. If you're driving one in Onyx Black or Teal Gray Metallic, you've got a classic look, but for the rest of you-congratulations on owning a truck that's actually easy to find in a crowded parking lot.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that cap, we need to find your "birth certificate." Isuzu tucked the paint code in a classic spot: check the sticker inside your glove box. You're looking for a code that often starts with "WA" followed by four digits.

Now, a little honesty between us: the paint on these trucks can be a bit sensitive. You'll likely notice "road rash" (tiny white chips) on the front hood or some thinning clear coat on the roof if it's spent its life in the sun. These spots are totally fixable, but they usually mean the paint is "thirsty." If you see the edges of a chip looking a bit flaky, just give them a gentle nudge with a toothpick to clear away the loose bits before you start.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Isuzu leaned heavily into metallics like Bering Blue and Platinum Silver, your bottle is full of tiny metallic flakes that love to settle at the bottom. Give that bottle a serious workout-shake it for a full 60 seconds until you hear the mixing ball rattling like a maraca.

When you apply it, think "less is more." Use the tip of your brush to drop a tiny dot of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to do two thin, patient layers than one giant, goopy blob that looks like a grape stuck to your fender. Give it 20 minutes between coats, and you'll have that finish looking sharp again.
