Mitsubishi Endeavor Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi didn't hold back with the Endeavor, recording a solid 17 colors over its lifespan. They gave us everything from the sophisticated Sterling Silver Metallic to the adventurous Machine Green Metallic. They even got a little poetic with names like Kalapana Black and the mysterious Satin Meisai Pearl. Whether you're driving a Maizen Blue beauty or an Ultra Red Pearl machine, the Endeavor definitely had a "bold SUV" personality to match its palette.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you'll need your code. On the Endeavor, you aren't looking at the door jamb first-pop the hood and look at the center of the firewall (the metal wall between the engine and the cabin). You should see a small metal plate with a three-character code like "A31" or "X13."

Now, for the honest truth: the Endeavor is a bit famous for "sunburn." The factory clear coat-especially on the hood, roof, and those Kalapana Black models-tends to get tired and start peeling or fading over time. If you see a spot where the paint looks chalky or is flaking off like a bad sunburn, don't panic. It just means your SUV is asking for a little extra protection to keep the metal underneath from rusting.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Endeavor colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics" (looking at you, White Pearl Tricoat and Torched Steel Blue), the "magic" is all in the flake. Those tiny sparkles settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle faster than you'd think.

The Whisperer's Secret: Shake that bottle or pen for a full two minutes-time it on your watch! If you don't, your "Titanium Pearl" will just look like "Flat Grey." When applying, remember that three thin, whisper-light coats will always look better than one big "glop" of paint. If your kit came with a clear coat pen, wait at least 30 minutes for the color to dry before dabbing the clear on top to lock in that factory shine.
