Mitsubishi Sigma Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Mitsubishi didn't just paint the Sigma; they gave it a wardrobe. We've recorded 10 distinct shades for this classic, ranging from the crisp Sophia White to the deep, sophisticated Bordeaux Red Metallic. They really leaned into the "classy executive" vibe with names like Geneva Green Metallic and Grace Silver Metallic. Whether yours is rocking the earthy Sahara Gold or the moody Nordic Blue, these colors were designed to make a statement in the corporate parking lot of 1990.
What to Watch For
Before you pop the cap on that touch-up bottle, we need to find your "birth certificate"-the paint code. For the Sigma, Mitsubishi hid this on a metal plate located on the passenger side of the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Now, for the reality check: Mitsubishi paint from this era is known for being a bit "shy" under the sun. It's common to see the clear coat getting a little flaky or chalky on the roof and trunk, especially on the Grace Silver and Sahara Gold models. If you see the paint starting to look like a sunburned shoulder, don't worry-you're catching it just in time to seal those edges.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with Galaxy White Pearl Tricoat, remember that "Pearl" is just code for "extra fancy layers." Since this is a tricoat, it thrives on patience. Shake your bottle for a full two minutes-yes, time it on your watch-to get those microscopic sparkles dancing. When applying, think "whisper-thin." If you try to fill a chip with one big glob, it'll look like a drop of milk on the hood. Instead, dab a tiny amount, let it dry until it looks matte, and then add another layer. It's much easier to add more than it is to deal with a lonely, oversized drip.
