Where to look on your Mitsubishi
- Under the bonnet. On older Mitsubishis the plate is on the bulkhead or an inner wing.
- Door jamb. Open the driver's door and check the B-pillar, the upright between the front and rear doors, for a label or plate. If it's not there, try the passenger side.
What the code looks like
Mitsubishi codes are usually three characters, such as U17 (Titanium Grey) or X37 (Black). Older colours may use a longer code.

Can't find the identification plate?
- Call your local Mitsubishi dealership, ask for the Parts department, and give them your registration or VIN. They can look up the factory colour code.
- Search by colour. If you know the colour name or roughly what colour it is, filter our Mitsubishi colour codes by colour and year to narrow it down.
Still stuck, or not sure the code matches a resprayed panel? Bring the fuel flap or a small part into a branch and we'll match it on the counter.
What you’ll need
Once you have the code, the finish tells you what to order. Mitsubishi colours fall into these groups:
Single-stage
Solid colours
One paint. It dries to a gloss finish, so no lacquer is needed.
454 Mitsubishi colours
Two-stage
Metallic, pearl and most modern colours
Basecoat, then clear lacquer over the top. Matt colours need a matt lacquer instead.
1114 Mitsubishi colours
Three-stage
Pearl tri-coat colours
Basecoat, a pearl mid-coat, then clear lacquer. Order both paints together so they match.
