Mitsubishi Montero Sport Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi really hit the lab for the Montero Sport, recording a massive 31 different colors over the years. They clearly couldn't decide on just one "Silver," giving us everything from Satellite Silver Metallic to Hamilton Silver. If you're not rocking a metallic, you're likely sporting one of their deeper gems like Roanne Red Pearl or the earthy Timber Green Pearl. They even went all-in on the "two-tone" trend, which makes these SUVs look like they're wearing a sophisticated suit with a different colored vest.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, you need to find your "Model Plate." Forget the door jamb for a second-on the Montero Sport, your paint code is usually hiding on a silver metal plate riveted to the passenger side firewall (the wall between the engine and the cabin) or sitting right on top of the radiator support.

In the real world, Mitsubishi paint is known for being a bit sensitive to the sun. You'll often see "chalking" on the darker reds or little flaky white edges on the roof and hood where the clear coat has decided it's had enough of the heat. If you see those dry, crusty spots starting to lift, catch them early with your touch-up kit before they decide to migrate down the doors.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Montero Sport colors are "Pearls" or "Tricoats" (looking at you, White Pearl Tricoat), you have to be the human paint shaker. Those tiny flakes that make the paint sparkle like a disco ball love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think is necessary-to wake up that mica.

When applying, remember: thin is king. If you have a deep chip, don't try to fill the whole "crater" in one go. Dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and come back for a second pass. It requires a bit of patience, but it's the difference between a repair that disappears and a blob that looks like a stray piece of gum.
