General precautions
• If you removed parts, be sure to reinstall them in
their original positions.
• If you removed any labels, obtain new labels and
apply them to the same positions from which you
removed the old labels.
• Paint compatibility should be checked when
repainting. In order to avoid color variations on
painted bodies, MITSUBISHI FUSO recommends
that paints be used only if they have been tested
and approved for the vehicle model in question.
There may be paint colors and parts not available
for some vehicle types. Contact an authorized
MITSUBISHI FUSO dealer to confirm which colors
or parts are available for the vehicle.

may occur. For this reason, before repainting the body
areas, apply masking tape or other protective material
to these areas to prevent them from being exposed to
