How to Find Your Mitsubishi Sportero's Color Code

Mitsubishi paint codes are on a tag in the firewall area of the car, not on an exterior panel. The color code sits at the bottom mid-left part of that tag. Codes include letters, dashes, and numbers. The code R71 corresponds to Passion Red Clearcoat. R71 may be called Passion Red Clearcoat on some models. R71 may be called Red Clearcoat or Speed Red Clearcoat on others. Model marketing names can vary even for the same code.

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi clearly had a very specific mood board for the Sportero, offering a palette of 7 colors that leans heavily into the "refined rugged" look. With options like Cool Silver Metallic, Effect Gray Pearl Metallic, and Still Blue Pearl, they've managed to create about fifty shades of adventure. Whether you're rocking the Satin Meisai Pearl or the classic Gray Metallic, these colors are designed to look just as good covered in mud as they do under a driveway floodlight.

What to Watch For

The Sportero is a workhorse, but its clear coat can sometimes be a bit of a "softie." Owners often notice that the flat horizontal surfaces-specifically the hood and the roof-are the first to show signs of sun-wear or light surface fading. You might also spot some battle scars around the door handles and bed rails. To get started on your repair, you'll need your paint code: pop the hood and look for a metal plate or sticker on the firewall (that's the back wall of the engine bay). It's usually a three-digit alphanumeric code tucked next to the "COLOR" heading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most Sportero shades are heavy on the metallic and pearl (looking at you, Greenish Silver Metallic), your biggest challenge is "waking up" the sparkles. Before you touch the car, shake your paint bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and a good workout for the bottle ensures the color that comes out matches the color on your truck. Apply your paint in two or three paper-thin coats rather than one big glob; it helps the metallic bits lay flat and keeps the repair looking smooth.
