Mitsubishi Mineral Beige (C04) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the mid-2000s SUV boom perfectly. It was the sophisticated choice for the Mitsubishi Endeavor, offering a warmer, more premium alternative to the clinical silvers of the time. It is a workhorse shade that excels at hiding road grime and dust, which is why so many of these vehicles still look respectable today. Since your car has likely spent nearly two decades facing the sun, the original finish might have shifted slightly, but this pigment still carries that earthy, champagne-adjacent warmth that defines the era.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light. This creates a deep, shimmering effect, but it also means you have to be careful during application. If the flakes settle unevenly, you will end up with dark spots or "mottling" that ruins the illusion of a smooth surface. Before you spray or dab Mitsubishi Mineral Beige (check for code C04), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those metallic particles are fully suspended. If you don't mix it thoroughly, the color will look dull or mismatched.

Best Practices

To find your verification, look for a metal plate or sticker located on the center of the firewall, right behind the engine. When you are ready to begin, move your car into the garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes lay down before you touch the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, apply the paint in thin, light layers. Heavy coats will cause the metallics to sink and darken the shade. Keep the container moving and give it plenty of drying time between coats to build a finish that matches the factory depth.
