COLOR CODEP57 - Wine Red PearlMitsubishi Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Mirage or Triton wears a shade that punches above its weight class. While standard reds can feel loud or juvenile, this deep hue gives your Mitsubishi a mature, premium character. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road since anywhere between 2017 and 2026, you may notice that this color holds its depth well against the sun, provided it is kept clean. It is a sophisticated choice that transforms a compact car into a classier commuter and makes a rugged truck look like a luxury cruiser.

Technical Details

This finish is a true pearl, which means it relies on microscopic mica flakes to catch and reflect light. This creates a challenge for your repair. Pearl paints are notorious for looking "muddy" or "flat" if the particles are not distributed evenly during application. If you apply the paint too heavy in one spot, the mica will clump and lose its shimmer. If you apply it too thin, the red may appear slightly pinkish or translucent. Success with this color depends entirely on your ability to mimic the factory density of those pearl flakes.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Mitsubishi Wine Red Pearl (check for code P57), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your code on the silver identification plate located on the firewall under the hood or on the passenger side center pillar door jamb. Test the color on the included card to ensure the mica density looks right before touching your car. To avoid dark spots or uneven shimmer, keep the container moving at all times. Work in a cool garage rather than direct sunlight to give the paint a consistent drying time.
