Mitsubishi Space Star Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Mitsubishi Space Star keeps things exclusive. According to our records, we've tracked down a total of 2 colors for this punchy little commuter. Whether you're rocking the sleek Chromatic Silver Metallic or the vibrant Medium Blue, you're driving a car that knows its identity. While some manufacturers offer fifty shades of beige, Mitsubishi decided to stick to the hits and keep your decision-making process as streamlined as the car itself.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "North Star"-the paint code. On a Space Star, Mitsubishi likes to play hide-and-seek; you'll usually find the ID tag bolted to the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) or tucked inside the driver's side door jamb. Keep an eye out for a three-digit code like "A66" or "T65."
In terms of aging, these cars are known for having a bit of a "sensitive soul" when it comes to the sun. The clear coat on the roof and hood can be quite thin, leading to premature fading if left out in the heat. You might also notice small "road rash" chips on the front bumper-this paint is thin and lean, much like the car's fuel economy, so catching those chips early is key to keeping the rust gremlins away.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because both of these colors are metallics, they require a little extra "DIY rhythm." Metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes-yes, set a timer-to ensure those silver or blue sparkles are evenly distributed. When applying, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like nail polish: one thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, then add another. If the color looks a little dark at first, don't panic! It just requires patience as it dries and levels out to match the factory finish.
