Once you've added custom color paint to your cart, you will need clearcoat and (depending on your damage) other non-paint products to complete your repair.

Your Paint Color Profile

T65 - Deep Blue Pearl

The Look

This is not just another navy blue from the late 2000s. Whether it is hugging the aggressive lines of a Lancer or covering the broad panels of an Outlander, this color has a mood. In the shade or under garage lights, it looks like a deep, respectful midnight. However, once you pull your car into the sun, the pearl base wakes up and gives the finish a liquid, three-dimensional depth. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road since the 2007-2009 era, you should keep in mind that the original finish may have softened or shifted slightly due to years of sun exposure, so a perfect blend requires a little finesse.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which is both a blessing and a challenge for a DIY repair. The "pearl" effect comes from mica flakes suspended in the paint that reflect light differently than a standard metallic. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch up and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. It is a sensitive finish that demands consistency. Before you spray or dab Mitsubishi Deep Blue Pearl (check for code T65), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable because those heavy pearl pigments love to settle at the bottom of the container, and if they aren't fully mixed, your repair will look like a flat navy blue instead of a deep pearl.

Best Practices

First, confirm you have the right match by looking under the hood. Mitsubishi usually stamps the paint code on a metal plate located right on the firewall, often near the brake booster. Once you are ready to work, move your car into the shade to keep the metal cool. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to ensure the shade matches your weathered finish. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, the secret is thin layers. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure the pearl flakes land evenly. Give each layer plenty of drying time, as rushing the process will trap solvents and dull that characteristic depth.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Mitsubishi'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.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
