How to Find Your 2012 Mitsubishi's Color Code

Mitsubishi paint codes are on a tag in the firewall area of the car, not on an exterior panel. The color code sits at the bottom mid-left part of that tag. Codes include letters, dashes, and numbers. The code R71 corresponds to Passion Red Clearcoat. R71 may be called Passion Red Clearcoat on some models. R71 may be called Red Clearcoat or Speed Red Clearcoat on others. Model marketing names can vary even for the same code.

2012 Mitsubishi Background Info

The 2012 Mitsubishi Vibe

2012 was a wild year for Mitsubishi. They were trying to be everything to everyone-dropping the futuristic, electric i-MiEV on one end of the lot while the legendary Lancer Evolution and the sun-seeking Eclipse Spyder held down the "fast and loud" department. With 33 colors in our database for this year alone, it's clear the factory was feeling experimental. They weren't just painting cars; they were making statements with high-energy hues like Kiwi Green Metallic, Plasma Purple Metallic, and the fan-favorite Octane Blue Pearl. It was a palette that had more personality than a J-Pop music video, even if the Galant was still trying to play it cool in Mercury Gray.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2012, the robots at the factory had become masters of "efficiency," which is just a nice way of saying they sprayed the paint about as thick as a hospital gown. While the mechanicals of a Lancer or Outlander might be bulletproof, the aesthetics were a bit more fragile. If your 2012 has spent its life under the sun, you're likely seeing "crows feet" in the clear coat or the dreaded "peeling roof syndrome," especially on Rally Red or Cool Silver models. These finishes were applied thin to save weight and cost, meaning stone chips on the hood don't just stay chips-they become invitations for surface rust if you don't catch them early.

Restoration Tip

Since you're dealing with a factory finish that was applied with a "less is more" philosophy, you need to be a surgeon with the repair. When you're filling those chips or scuffs, build your layers slowly; don't just blob it on. Because the surrounding factory paint is so thin, a giant glob of touch-up will stick out like a sore thumb. Apply several paper-thin coats, letting each one dry until it's just below the level of the original clear coat. This gives you the best chance of a flush, "invisible" finish that actually sticks to the substrate instead of sitting on top like a sticker.
