Mitsubishi Lancer EVO Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi didn't just give the Lancer EVO a turbocharger; they gave it a wardrobe that demands attention. We have 6 specific colors recorded for this legend, ranging from the stealthy Effect Gray Pearl Metallic to the loud-and-proud Rally Red Metallic. With names like Octane Blue Pearl and Phantom Black Pearl, they really went for it-these colors were designed to look just as fast standing still as they do at 100 mph.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth from the driveway: EVO paint is famously "soft." While that makes it look incredible when it's fresh, it also means your hood and front bumper are likely acting as a magnet for every stray pebble on the road. You might also notice the clear coat on the rear wing or the roof getting a bit tired if the car spends a lot of time in the sun. To get started, you'll need your paint code. Forget the door jamb; pop the hood and look for a small silver plate bolted to the firewall (the metal wall at the very back of the engine bay). It's a bit of a reach, but your exact match is waiting right there.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these colors are pearls or metallics, they require a bit of patience to get right. Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done. When applying, don't try to fill a chip with one big glob. Use the tip of the brush to dab in a paper-thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This helps those metallic flakes lay down flat and catch the light properly, ensuring your repair looks like a part of the car, not a "fix."
