ISUZU car paint

How do I order an Isuzu paint job ?

Above all, it is imperative to know the exact reference of your paint among the colour codes of Asian cars, and in particular, the color codes of Isuzu cars - without this, it is impossible to place order.

Next, determine whether your current Isuzu paint is metallic/pearlescent or opaque: if it is metallic or pearlescent, go to the "1K basecoat" page.
If it does not contain reflective pigments and it is a simple opaque paint, go to the "2K paint" page.

Before entering the Isuzu colour code in the appropriate field, simply select the packaging you prefer (aerosol or paint can) and the quantity you need (250 ml, 500 ml, 1L kit, or 2L kit), then click "Add to Basket".

If you can't find the small field to enter your paint reference, you can easily send us your code by email immediately after ordering. When we receive the order, we prepare the paint immediately and ship it by express (dispatched within 24 hours in France or 48/72 hours in Europe), provided your order was placed before 3 p.m.

How much paint do I need ?
Simply estimate approximately, by multiplying the length by the width of the part to paint (wing, bonnet, bumper, etc.) to obtain the area in square meters.
It takes about 1L of paint to cover 5 m². Therefore, about 250 ml is needed to cover 1 m².
It is always better to have a little more paint than not enough.

ISUZU car colour codes

Like all car manufacturers, Isuzu has produced a wide variety of models and colours - both to innovate and to follow trends. Each model and each year brought new shades, expanding the Isuzu colour chart to cover a hundred references.
We can observe a clear evolution of tones from the 1960s, to the 1990s (introduction  of metallics), and then the 2000s, with the widespread use of pearlescent paints, which are more refined and visually appealing.
We offer various formats of paints according to the Isuzu colour code :

• aerosol (400 ml total volume)

This includes 75% propellant gas and 25% paint, or 100 ml of actual Isuzu paint. Our aerosols contain the same professional-grade products as our paint cans, allowing you to achieve high quality results. For metallic or pearlescent Isuzu colours, remember to also order our two-component topcoat aerosol.

• Paint in a can

There are two versions:

250 ml and 500 ml, which are pre-diluted and ready to use - no mixing required. Paint kits, which include pure paint and separate thinner. You simply dilute the paint with  50% to 70% thinner, depending on personal preference and the spray gun nozzle used.

The History of the Manufacturer - ISUZU

The Japanese company Isuzu Motors was founded in 1916 in Tokyo by a visionary engineer, who partnered with the national gas and electricity company to produce some of Japan's first automobiles. After the devastating earthquake that destroyed much of the country's infrastructure, Isuzu quickly grew by producing vehicles and trucks to replace the damaged rail systems.
Now headquarted in Yokohama, Isuzu is known globally for its commercial vehicles, pickups, vans and professional utility vehicles, all powered by diesel engines.
In Japan, Isuzu expanded into trucks for industry and buses for public transport. The company also partnered with Nissan, creating DATSUN vehicles.
The Isuzu group operates globally through business partnerships in countries such as  India, Russia, and South Africa.
Isuzu's diesel engines are well-renowned and used by manufacturers including  General Motors, with whom Isuzu has had ties since 1920, when GM acquired nearly one-third of Isuzu's shares. In the US, Isuzu has established several manufacturing plants, producing models like the Chevrolet LUV, which was entirely built by Isuzu.

Where to find the colour code of your ISUZU car ?

It is essential to know your colour code, as it is virtually impossible to order or produce the correct paint without it - unless you have the exact colour name. It is not possible to search by year or model.
For Isuzu vehicles, the VIN plate with the colour code can be found in two locations :

- Inside the engine bay, under the bonnet, near the windscreen base.
- On the driver's side door leaf.

Refer to the images provided below to help you locate it.
The Isuzu colour code is always composed of three to four characters (letters or numbers).

Isuzu Paint Shipping :

Our paints are dispatched in under 24 hours, using one of two express carriers:  Chronopost or TNT, in secure packaging (for flammable materials).

The Iconic colours of ISUZU cars

Since Isuzu is largely focused on commercial and utility vehicles, more than 50% of its colour references are white.
White is an economical and neutral colour - ideal for professional use.
Surprisingly, we also find several complex shades in the database, typically associated with motorcycles: these are three-layer colours, high-end finishes requiring a three-step application system: base, colour coat, topcoat (clearcoat).
These layers are separated to allow maximum pearl effect and depth, as mixing pearls directly into paint often diminishes the visual impact.
Here is a sample from our Isuzu colour database, which contains over one hundred references:

531         First Coat             2011 - 2020
531         Silky White          2011 - 2020
5369       White                   1999 - 2003

If you find other information on your vehicle's VIN plate and have doubts, do not hesitate to contact our technical department or colour team for confirmation and verification (colors@stardustcolors.com).
