Mitsubishi Outlander Touch Up Paint (46 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi clearly decided that "variety is the spice of life" when they engineered the Outlander, recording a massive 53 different colors. They really went for it, offering everything from the ethereal Fairy White to the high-energy Sunshine Orange Pearl. Whether your driveway is sporting the moody Amethyst Black or the sophisticated Satellite Silver Metallic, you aren't just driving a crossover; you're driving a very specific vibe. With so many "Diamond" and "Pearl" finishes in the mix, your Outlander was designed to catch the light-and probably a few envious glances at the grocery store.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need to find your "social security number"-the paint code. On most Outlanders, you'll find this 3-digit code (look for something like X42 or W13) on the manufacturer sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or tucked away on the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Now, a word of honesty: Mitsubishi paint is famously "soft." It looks gorgeous, but it's a bit of a magnet for tiny chips on the hood and nose. If you see what looks like "pepper flakes" on your front bumper, don't worry-it's just the thin factory clear coat showing its age. It's a very common quirk, and luckily, it's exactly what your touch-up kit was born to handle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because the Outlander features so many complex finishes-like the Red Diamond Tricoat or Black Diamond Pearl-getting a great result requires patience. These colors rely on tiny metallic flakes and pearl pigments that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your paint for at least two full minutes-set a timer on your phone and treat it like a workout! When you apply the paint, resist the urge to fill the whole chip in one go. Think "thin layers." Use the tip of your applicator to build the color up slowly, letting it dry between passes. This keeps the paint from looking like a "blob" and helps those beautiful pearls lay down flat and shiny, just like the factory intended.
