Mitsubishi ceramic coating on the Gold Coast
Dual-purpose vehicles in a salt-air climate.
Tritons work during the week and tow on weekends. Outlanders and ASXs do the school run. Both live outside, and both benefit from the same thing: less scrubbing at wash time.
What Mitsubishi paint is actually like
Soft-to-medium clear coat with average film build. Solid whites and silvers are the most common; both hide swirls but show oxidation.
What we see most on Mitsubishis
Salt exposure
Coastal driving and beach access leave salt in seams, around the tub and along lower panels.
Tray and tub scuffs
Triton tubs and tailgates cop loading damage — the tailgate top edge is the usual casualty.
UV fade on solid colours
Solid reds and whites on older models fade unevenly across the roof and bonnet.
Accessory contact marks
Bull bars, side steps and canopies rub against paint at the mounting points.
How we prep a Mitsubishi before coating
Preparation is the job. The coating is the last hour of it.
- 1
Full inspection under LED and swirl-finder lighting, with paint depth readings recorded panel by panel.
- 2
Two-bucket hand wash, wheels and arches degreased, badges and shuts cleaned out.
- 3
Chemical iron and industrial fallout removal, then a clay treatment to lift bonded contamination.
- 4
Tape-up of trim, rubbers and sensitive edges before any machine work.
- 5
Lower panels, sills and tub decontaminated thoroughly — salt build-up has to come off before anything else.
- 6
Accessory contact points cleaned, polished and coated where accessible.
- 7
Panel wipe with a coating-safe solvent to strip polishing oils and reveal the true finish.
- 8
Fireball ceramic coating applied by hand, levelled panel by panel under controlled lighting.
- 9
IR / controlled cure, then a final inspection and handover pack with aftercare instructions.
