I was just wondering what colours are everybodies 380s? trying to work out which the popular colours are on here. would do a poll but a) lots of options b) i dont know all the colours.
all this is due to the fact that i wanted an electro blue and ended up with molten red, but since looking around it seems we have a disproportionally high number of the electros already (disproportionate in that how many we have as to how rare i THINK they are.
any way
Stealth Black: 4
Electro Blue: 3
Storm: 3
Mawson White: 3
Platinum: 2
Molten Red: 2
Flame Red: 1
Adrenaline (gold): 1
Vision:
Blue Steel:
Sub-Lime:
Fusion Burst:
Zen: 0
(will update if anyone answers:P)

Perhaps this should be a poll. The colours used are:
Blue Steel
Mawson White
Vision
Storm
Platinum
Stealth
Molten
Electro
Adrenaline
Ralliart Red, some call this Flame Red
Sub lime
Fusion Burst
Zen, may have been used on less than 4 cars

My 380 is Electro

yes should be a poll but i dont think i can change in now, and seems silly to start another thread.

Got a black one over here

Another black (Stealth) one here.
When I went in to the dealer, I wanted a blue one (what's the dark blue one called?) but saw my black one first and grabbed it, having never had a black car before. (Won't get black ever again though, but that's another story)

series one had both Storm Grey as well as Storm Black....i saw it in a Nitsu brochure......

Mine is Storm Grey, with Pearl...

so there are two different blacks :wtf::roflwtf::nuts:

There's at least 2 more black 380s here but I can't remember their names. One guy has the 20" black Cheetahs, and another has a Platinum I think. Oh and 1 more (so 3)... the guy with the very small avator. Sorry, bad memory.
EDIT: Had a look through Post Your Ride... couldn't find the guy with the 20s, but found 3 others (so now 4 that I recall)...
auspest, JimmyA, and (how could I forget) McHenry

stealth black, couldn't go past it after seeing a few other colours at the dealer. Unless you enjoy washing your car stay well away!

Standard Grey and Black, (Black where the Grey used to be) :happy:

Yeah you're the guy I was thinking of, with the 20s... couldn't remember your username, sorry.
As for washing a black car... yes, they look fantastic when clean and shiney - but there's nothing worse than a dirty muddy black car.

Unfortunately, no prize for guessing my colour, just thought I would reply anyway!!!

The only black car I have ever owned was a Suzuki Swift GTI...never again, blue is hard enough to keep clean.

and fooz is adrenaline...
but ill wait till they answer before i count them.
I have officially answered & yes as you can see it is Adrenaline :nuts:

Ummmm...

Ummmm...

ok your electro right? assuming that car in ur avatar is your not some randoms. counted it anyway

ralliart red. i can confirm the real name is ralliart red and not flame red. flame red was on the tl magnas.

Mawson White here

Black here

good ole Mawson white here. The other cars showed to many scratches at the dealer so went the white one. First Mitsubishi and definatley not my last. Love the ride.

ralliart red. i can confirm the real name is ralliart red and not flame red. flame red was on the tl magnas.

I have the TJ Ralliart brochure and it says that the red is called Flame. There is no such colour as "Ralliart" red...

Where did you see this confirmed? I am prepared to be proven wrong!

Post #25 supposedly shows a Ralliart Red ES. Apparently a few were made (more details earlier in linked post).
Nice to see the Stealth black at the top of the list (at least as this post goes to air).

i'm about 60% sure that if you do a full edit of the first post, you can open up a poll

Yeah i knew it was a bit of deja vu... Because i like facts and am quite particular about that, i would like to see where this is in print as Ralliart red. To me its Flame unless proven otherwise. :happy:

Hi Type40, like you I thought the red was Flame as that is what it was known as under TJ and TL. I have since seen internal Mitsubishi dealer communications that label it as Ralliart Red.

However I have not seen anything in the public domain that labels the colour as either Ralliart Red or Flame Red on the 380

Guess :)

Series III Storm here

Platinum here...

Another platinum.

KJ.

What is Zen? Did a quick Google search but couldn't find anything (and got lazy to persist past screen 2).
I don't mean to derail this thread, so if someone could link a pic, that'd be cool.

Zen is purple as used on TL TW Magna

when i went to my local paint shop to get 2ltrs of to paint my sideskirts and dash i told them the name of the paint was either ralliart red or flame red. so they looked it up and neither came up on the 380. the flame came up for tj-tw but not 380. so i asked howd you spelled ralliart he said rallyart. i replayed its spelt ralliart. he went back to the computer and typed it in and it came up.


if you need 100% proof go to ur neerest paint shop and tell them the paint code which is HQ and ralliart red.

from memory the zen 380 i seen at the factory was darker then that. it was like the sable black on the tj. but purple

Yep I agree. The paint code on my car is FA for Flame Red, and when my car was parked next to mytsgt95 380 it certainly is a different red. So its understandable there is a different paint code for his 380.

Interesting... You have proven me wrong. Now the question i have to ask is here in Vic there are some base ES 380's in the same red as yours. I have been lead to believe that they have been painted in the same red that our CFA uses on their cars. Would that code be the same code as yours? Anyone able to answer?

cant really answer that to be honest. would have to see the actual colour and were they painted after market etc.

Sublime then?
I'm thinking of that limited edition thing that has sunroof and GT rims.

Stealth Black here - Nice colour, shame about the fact that mitsu put so little of on the car.

My 380 will be the last Mitsu I get I think.

My Storm Grey looks purple/brown in bright sun and has a green tint under lights.I dislike some of the dash parts looking purple in the sun.

I can say never have seen the interior go purple

do you have tinted windows???

Only factory tint.
The main dash is fine but around the switches and the centre LCD pod looks purple in bright sun. Possibly through sunroof?
On a different subject how do you post an image?
I am new to all this

Welcome to the forums! Go to UserCP menu and select Edit Avatar (for the little pic next to your name) or Edit Profile Picture (for the bigger image within your profile). You can link your image via ImageShack or PhotoBucket, or upload straight from PC (but it needs to be pretty small - just follow the directions). Good luck.

storm grey or is it purple? or green? depends whether I lean my head to the left or right

LOL

Storm does that

The Interior I cannot see it as purple but I have black leather and the sunroof do you have cloth with the red fleck inserts

I think you have purple on the brain or as EGO says to me alot

" you being standing in the crops too long "

nope
I have black leather and sunroof.Its not noticable on main dash just this 'purply 'tinge around some other black trim when sunny'
Yeah Deep Purple'smoke on the water'

bump, as new members might not have seen this.

Black.
I work as a driver for an embassy. I wish I had someone like me that worked for me to keep my car spotless all the time.

Storm grey GT here....

How many changes of colour do you get in full sun?

Stealth Black here - not new,just havent seen this thread yet

Good old Mawson White....

Mine changes from green to different shades of grey and to a kind of purplish colour as well...

Platinum GT here

bump since we have had quite a few new members recently...

Mine is white.

Mawson white here. :happy:

Grey and Platinum are the only other colours I like on the 380

bumpage

How do you find the code of your color? I think its written in the long code on the front windscreen. I know I saw a breakdown of that code (what all the groups of numbers and letters mean) here somewhere.
EDIT: I remember now, it was posted in the MUTIII thread, but Blackstar deleted all his posts now "spat the dummy" (his words).

Poll won't let me vote twice, but I have one Molten Red and one White. Of course, the red one goes faster...

molten red here - would not like it any other way - got some scratches of jealous fellas

mawson white here. Anyone know the code? Unique have 3 different codes for it?

The black is so hard to maintain. Just wow.

Just need decent products, black isnt that bad

Just need decent products, black isnt that bad

isnt that bad? compared to what?

After owning two black mitsubishi's, they look awesome when clean but show up every imperfection, dents down the side of the door from inconsiderate so&so's at shopping centres. scratchs from neighbours cats and generally having to increase your upkeep in keeping the car clean.

now saying blacks not that bad isnt a problem if you dont mind looking after it, i.e. washing and drying it regulary, but after maintaining a black car for a few years you might welcome the laziness other colours afford.

the only thing i can think of worse than a black car would be white wheels.

You need decent products, and more importantly a decent detailing technique. I now keep away from products from super cheap/repco as they are generally cheap and nasty. Investing in an expensive wax and using a DA to apply will give you months of perfect black paint and minimal swirls. Owned a TJ magna in sable, and it was fairly low maintenance once i had restored the paint to its best.
