2024 Mitsubishi Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The 2024 Mitsubishi Vibe

Welcome to 2024, where Mitsubishi decided that if you're going to drive a car that looks like a high-tech kitchen appliance, it might as well have a paint job to match. We're tracking 32 different colors for this year alone-a far cry from the days of "any color as long as it's black." Whether you're rocking the budget-hero Mirage, the angular Eclipse Cross, or the beefy Outlander, the vibe is all about depth and contrast. We're seeing a massive surge in "Diamond" tricoats like Red Diamond and White Diamond, and enough two-tone options (shoutout to those X37 and X42 black roofs) to make a 1950s diner jealous. It's an era of shimmer, sparkle, and more "metallic" than a heavy metal concert.

Paint Health Check

Now, here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: we are deep in the Thin Paint Era. Back in my day, you could practically sand a car with a brick and still find paint underneath. In 2024, the "Robot Efficiency" at the factory is so precise it's scary. They apply these thin factory enamels with surgical accuracy-which looks great on the showroom floor, but doesn't leave much "meat on the bone" for the real world. If a stray pebble even thinks about hitting your Black Diamond Pearl hood, you're looking at a chip. These modern finishes are beautiful, but they're brittle and lean. Don't expect the paint to forgive you if you neglect it.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a nick on these 2024 models, you've got to play by the robot's rules: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin and those tricoats (like Silky White) rely on light passing through multiple layers, trying to fill a chip with one big drop of paint will leave you with a dark, ugly "beauty mark" that never matches. Use a fine-tip brush or a toothpick, apply a tiny amount, let it dry, and repeat. You're building a miniature skyscraper, one floor at a time. It takes patience, but it's the only way to get that 2024 depth without making it look like a DIY disaster.
