Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Touch Up Paint (26 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mitsubishi didn't just give the Eclipse Spyder a paint job; they gave it "main character" energy. With 30 recorded colors, they really went for it-ranging from the high-voltage Sunset Pearlescent to the moody UV Blue Pearl and the classic Sterling Silver Metallic. Whether you're driving a car that looks like a tropical sunrise or a sleek piece of "Torched Steel," these colors were designed to be noticed while the top is down.

What to Watch For

The Spyder lives its best life in the sun, but that open-air lifestyle can be a bit of a "burn" for the factory finish. Because this car has so much horizontal surface area on the trunk and hood, the clear coat can sometimes get tired and start to peel or flake away. You might also notice the paint on the door handles fading a little faster than the rest of the body. To make sure you've got the right match, go hunting for your paint code: it's usually hiding on the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine) or on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a three-digit code like "P36" or "A31."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Mitsubishi shades are "Pearls" or "Metallics," those tiny sparkly flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle while it sits on your shelf. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean really give it a workout-to wake up those pearls. When you apply it, don't try to fill a chip in one go. Think "thin layers." One thin coat, let it dry, then another. It requires a little more patience, but it ensures your repair sits flush and catches the light just like the original factory finish.
