748554K - Light Aubergine (U7-54664) Fleetwood Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome carries a color designed for the high-end highway experience. Unlike the sea of generic white boxes on the road, this deep, sophisticated purple gives your 2004 Fleetwood a regal presence. It was typically part of a multi-tone graphics package or a full-body paint scheme on premium models like the Discovery or Providence. Because this color has spent two decades under the sun, you should expect the original finish to be slightly lighter or flatter than when it left the factory.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes that catch the light to create depth. Metallic paints are notoriously picky. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. To avoid this, you must ensure the metallic particles stay evenly distributed as you work. The reward for a careful application is a finish that shifts beautifully as you walk past the side of the coach, hiding small surface imperfections better than a solid color ever could.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Light Aubergine (U7-54664) (check for code 748554K), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. You can usually find your official paint ID sticker inside the bedroom wardrobe or on the wall behind the driver's seat. To get the best results, work in a cool garage or under the shade of your awning to keep the surface temperature down. Test the color on the included card first to see how it compares to your weathered finish. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give it ample drying time between light coats rather than trying to cover a scratch in one heavy pass.
