Mitsubishi Medium Silver Metallic (cladding) (H25) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 2005 or 2006 Outlander uses this specific silver on the bumpers and side moldings to create a rugged two-tone appearance. It acts as a shield against road grime, but because it sits lower on the vehicle, it catches every rock and curb. This shade is a workhorse silver that keeps the car looking clean even when it is actually quite dusty. Since these parts are often plastic, the paint has likely faded at a different rate than the metal body panels, so a fresh touch-up will make a massive difference in the overall stance of the vehicle.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it is packed with tiny flakes that give the silver its depth. If you apply the paint too heavily in one pass, these flakes will bunch up and create dark shadows or stripes. To avoid a blotchy finish, you must apply light, even layers. Metallic colors are less about covering the spot in one go and more about building a consistent field of shimmer. If the flakes do not lay down flat, the repair will look darker or lighter depending on the angle of the sun.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the metal plate located on the firewall inside the engine compartment or on a sticker under the hood. Before you spray or dab Mitsubishi Medium Silver Metallic (cladding) (check for code H25), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute those heavy metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to make sure the match is right before you move to the car. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent pooling and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer to ensure the finish stays uniform.
