Stock White Color Code?

[95gster]

I have a 95 eclipse which is stock white but I don't know the color code so I can get my front bumper painted so if anyone here has a stock white car let me know what the code is and by the way the code on my firewall is faded so I don't really know. Also is there more than just one white color? Any help would be appreciated...

Paint Codes from Machv.com

Here are some factory paint codes for DSM cars (and Lancer Evo!)

Lancer Evo VIII

White: W83
Yellow: Y01
Red: P85
Silver: A31
Blue: T10
Black: X42

 

[95gster]

so W83 is the stock color for all the white eclipse and talon?

 

[1996TalonEsi]

Personally, I am not sure, but the people at Machv know what they are talking about.

TTT come on there gotta be a couple of people on here with stock white eclipse or talon that can help another fellow dsmer out here with the paint code....

W83 doesn't ring a bell with me--I have looked at chips for my car. I am not at home to check mine, but something tells me my white 1G doesn't have this paint code. I'll be home around 11PM and check the firewall. BTW, any reputable paint shop should be able to find your match with a year, make, model and paint name. Seems like mine is Arctic White (it is the only white listed for a 1990 model year). I'll check later....

Check you door jam, on the driver side there should be a sticker,when u open your door its gonns be on the right u cant miss it, it contains most of the 411 of your car,like the weight,and the color code,if ur car is white from stockit should say there...

Should also be on the DSM plate on the firewall. Or, check the catalog at the Dupli-Color touchup paint rack at the parts shop.

[WhiteCharisma]

oh i dunno about the burnt orange one,bt give a call to ur local mitsubishi dealer they should have it..

 

[Defiant]

I don't know of many dealers I'd trust with something so complex as a DSM color code.

I know that it's Northstar White and that you can find the number in the jamb.

95-99 Northstar White code W12

 

[w1kk3d]

Alpine White - W32
Calgary White - W74
Galaxy White - W36
Glacier White Mica - W75
Innsbruck White - W83
Natural White - W31
Northstar White - W12
Summit White - W09

Heh, that is for all Mitsubishi's in 1995.
The only 2 for the Eclipse/Talon AFAIK were the Northstar White & the Summit White. I'd bank on Northstar.

Or you can just go with my method.

Strip the whole car and paint it with whatever white is available at the price and quality specs you require.

Lots and lots of sanding a few scratches filled, nice primer coat on a dry warm day, 40 hours of cross coating paint and about 3 3M face mask filters, 12 plastic face glass protector replacements and 14 Tyvek bodysuits in the trash.

did I mention 12 gallons of MEK, 3 lightbulbs replaced, and 4 rolls of brown paper (to cover the floor and walls of my paintbooth. 3 replacements of filters for my air exhaust fan.

White paint is the hardest to paint - because it runs thinner then darker colors. and it's so dam hard to coat evenly since you can't see shadows in it while it's wet.

Luckly I painted aircraft prior to this friggin adventure.

a year later? paint chipped on the hood, got a big rust spot on it. black metal panel under the wipers is starting to rust. and I'm tempted to remove it, sand it down and spray the thing again with flat black.

I'd do it again if I had the facilities like I had before. . Moved to VA, into an apartment no less.
