MITSUBISHI car paint

Your Mitsubishi vehicle has suffered some damage or you simply have a few small scratches and you want to carry out the paintwork on your bodywork yourself - know that it is possible, whether using aerosols or a spray gun. You simply need to find, among the colour codes of Asian cars, the colour code of your Mitsubishi.
This colour code or its corresponding name will allow you to order the paint, delivered within 24 hours, in the format of your choice, in solvent-based paint version.
In this category, we offer several options, the main one being the 1K basecoat for Mitsubishi.
Today, most automotive colours are metallic and pearlescent. They are only supplied and applied  in this version, which is referred to as 1K basecoat.

Older paints, such as 2K paints, cannot be used with pearlescent colours, simply because during drying - requiring at least 15 minutes for these glossy and thick 2K paints - the particles tend to move, creating a visual marbling defect.
Please note that the 1K basecoat version is available in both spray cans and paint cans. It is easy to apply, dries very quickly, and has a low risk of running. Finally, be aware that varnishing is mandatory for all of these paints - also known as two-layer paints - simply because the paintwork is applied in two layers: first the 1K basecoat, then the Topcoat.

Mitsubishi car colour codes

To order the manufacturer's paint corresponding to your vehicle, it's very simple: just select and tick the appropriate format.
The paint reference must be entered after the order, either by email or in the "Comments" box during the ordering process on the website.
To estimate the amount of paint required to coat a part or the entire vehicle, refer to the stated yield on the page, which is expressed in square metres per litre and per coat.

For example :

A car wing = 0.5 m²
A full car = from 8 to 16 m² depending on the size of the vehicle
A bonnet = 2 m²
A bumper = 1 to 1.5 m²

There are two types of Mitsubishi paint offers available on our page :
The small formats contain pre-diluted paint (already mixed).
Yield for Mitsubishi colour code: 8-10 m² per litre per coat; i.e. for two coats, 4-5 m² per litre.
The large format contains pure paint, with thinner supplied separately.
Yield: 10-12 m² per litre per coat; i.e. for two coats, 5-6 m² per litre.

Mitsubishi paints may vary in coverage depending on the shade. These are always applied as 1K basecoats, pearlescent or metallic, in thin and repeated layers, until the background is fully covered.

The history of the manufacturer Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi is a Japanese corporation and one of the world's largest car manufacturers. The name Mitsubishi means "union of three villages" in Japanese, which also explains the meaning of its logo-three diamonds.
The company was established in 1873. But the first car left the factories in 1917, based on a Fiat chassis.
During the 1970s, Mitsubishi Motors saw a fivefold increase in sales through overseas alliances and partnerships with other automotive companies, especially in the United States. Mitsubishi is one of the best examples of collaboration between multinational companies in car manufacturing. In many cases, it produced vehicles for other brands without using the Mitsubishi name. As with other companies - such as General Motors, Daimler, and Fiat - it was through forming  partnerships with major firms that Mitsubishi navigated through various economic crises.
In the 2010s, leadership changed hands after the departure of Carlos Ghosn, and the group returned to Japanese governance.

Where to find the colour code of your Mitsubishi car ?

For MITSUBISHI vehicles, the plate displaying the colour code (VIN plate) can be found in three  places:

- Inside the engine bay.
- On the right front door frame (passenger side).
- Inside the front bonnet.

You can refer to the images provided below, which illustrate the exact locations.

The colour code is always composed of three characters (letters or numbers).
If you're not sure of what a colour code looks like - especially as many alphanumeric references can be confusing - here is an example of a Mitsubishi colour code:
23J EBONY

If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact our colour or technical department. We can check our database to confirm whether your code exists and whether we have it in our paint formula list.

The iconic colours of Mitsubishi cars

Here are some examples of contemporary Mitsubishi colours :

Mitsubishi colour code       Colour name
155                                        FRENCH CLARET
156                                        ASHTON GREY
251                                        TERRACOTTA

There are no strict rules regarding the format of Mitsubishi colour code, which often include more than three characters. Please note that the colour name does not appear on the vehicle's registration card or the bodywork itself. Likewise, the colour code is not listed on the grey card -  you will need to ask your dealer if you cannot locate it in one of the spots mentioned above.
There are no particularly emblematic colours associated with this Japanese brand, which has  mainly focused on the production of commercial and off-road vehicles. For these, very classic  colors - often in shades of white -  have typically been used.
