Mitsubishi Yosemite White (PW1) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Raider is a rare piece of automotive history, representing the brief era when Mitsubishi and Dodge teamed up to build a mid-sized workhorse. This color is the quintessential "truck white." It isn't meant to be flashy or showy; it was designed for the job site and the trail. Because your vehicle has likely been working hard since 2009, the original finish might have lost some of its initial luster, but this shade remains one of the most practical choices ever put on a truck bed. It has a heavy, utilitarian presence that makes the Raider look rugged and ready for anything.

Technical Details

This is a strictly solid finish, which is excellent news for your repair project. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark stripes, a common headache with silvers and greys. However, a solid white like this is very honest. It will show every bit of road grime, grease, or poorly sanded filler underneath the new layer. The pigment is dense and provides great coverage, but you must ensure the surface is surgically clean before you start. If there is a speck of dust on the panel, this bright white will highlight it like a spotlight.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or along the edge of the door itself. Before you spray or dab Mitsubishi Yosemite White (check for code PW1), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to properly distribute the heavy white pigments. Test the color on the included card to see how it sits against your truck's aged finish before touching the actual metal. When you begin, keep the container moving to maintain an even flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a cool garage or the shade rather than direct sunlight, and give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish can harden properly without trapping moisture.
