does anybody know exactly where the color code is

 

.....on the car itself im not sure, but there are severl threads on this site listing any color code for lancer, ralliart or evo you could possibly need.
Since I dont feel like being a dick Ill dig up a listing for you but in the future please try and conduct a search on your own before creating a new thread. I actually answered one just like this 3 weeks ago.

 

call Mitsu....ther good for something ther...lol

 

Thunder Gray Metallic Clearcoat A02
Coronado Sand Metallic Clearcoat A26
Satellite Silver Metallic Clearcoat A69
Rio Red Metallic Clearcoat R20
Nares Blue Pearl Clearcoat T38
Diamond White Pearl Tricoat W13
Scotia White W83
Amethyst Black Pearl Clearcoat X42
Lightning Yellow Y01

here you go, hopefully this is what you needed and not the actual location of where the color code can be found on the car (because I have no idea where that is)

as a side note: instead of running a search, directly enter the forum that would most likely deal with the topic your interested in (in this case lancer show and shine). All important information about part numbers, paint codes and even upgrade paths are "stickied" at the top of various forums.

These tend to be the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

 

Prime location to locate the color code is RIGHT behind the throttle body (or the engine) inside your engine bay. It's on a metal plate tacked to your firewall. This is not the only place on the car that has the color code, there are at least 5 more places that i dont remember right now.

 

you can also do a VIN lookup for your car and get the color code from that

 

the most easy place to find it on most cars, not sure about ours, but most, is on the inside of the drivers side front door jam. usually there is a sticker that has build date, color codes, and all that good stuff.

 

I just needed to clear this up first. The Satellite Silver Metallic Clearcoat and the Munich Silver (which I have) are two different shades of silver. It has to be. I got my kit painted and just told them "A69". To this day, my kit is a shade darker than the car. I looked behind the throttle body and I found my color code was A69B.
I had to throw this out here just to make sure. Is this correct?

 

If so then we gotta update the color code list to
Munich Silver = A69B.

 

bump for confirmation on my answer

 

No, Munich Silver and Satellite silver are the SAME silvers. What makes it a shade off is the fact that your car's body paint has been weathered and faded while the new paint is fresh and new. Only way to get a 100% match is either have the body shop blend the kit into your car (overlap some of the new paint over the old paint) or have them completely re-paint your car OR let them take a sample of your car's color and custom mix the paint with the weathering/fading into the formula.

 

ok....i searched, but didn't find what i was looking for. Where can i get oem paint in a spray can?? does anyone know?

 

^^^ don't think anyone could have said it any better.

 

blacklancerr as far as I know there isnt anywhere you can buy factory paint in a spray can (at least that I've ever seen)

If you need paint you need to go to a auto paint store and give them your color code where they'll mix up your color for you. Then you either gotta take the paint to a body shop and have them do it for you or put it in your own spray gun if you happen to have one.

However if someone does make OEM paint in ready to use spray cans shout it out cuz I'd love that stuff!!!

 

Well, I ordered my paint that I painted my rrm grill and rrm eyelids from www.paintscratch.com. It matched perfectly and came in a little kit with clearcoat, primer, paint, rubbing compound, and sandpaper. Just choose vehicle make/model and paint code. It came out show quality.
edit: they also verify your VIN number to make sure the paint matches.
