How to Find Your Mitsubishi Eclipse'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.

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi didn't just paint the Eclipse; they dressed it for a starring role in a street-racing flick. With 81 recorded colors, they really went for it. We aren't just talking about basic reds and silvers; we're talking about high-drama finishes like Sunset Pearlescent, Tampa Blue Pearl, and the legendary Durango Copper Pearl. Whether you're driving a "tuner" icon or a late-model cruiser, the variety is staggering-even if half of them sound like vacation spots you can't afford.

What to Watch For

Here's the honest truth: Mitsubishi's clear coat from this era is a bit "socially anxious"-it tends to want to leave the party early. You'll often see the paint on the hood, roof, and the top of that iconic rear spoiler starting to look a little cloudy or flaky. This isn't a disaster; it just means those horizontal surfaces have soaked up too much sun. To get your fix started, you'll need your paint code. Pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) for a small metal placard, or check the driver's side door jamb. It's usually a three-digit alphanumeric code like "X13" or "A52."

Driveway Repair Tip

Because the Eclipse catalog is so heavy on "Pearls" and "Metallics," those tiny flakes inside your touch-up bottle like to settle at the bottom like sand at the beach. Before you even think about touching the car, shake your paint bottle for a full two minutes. If you think you've shaken it enough, shake it for thirty seconds more. When applying, avoid the temptation to fill a deep chip in one "blob." Instead, think of it like building a sandcastle: apply one paper-thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This keeps the color from looking too dark and helps those sparkles lay down flat and pretty.
