PNS393 - Moss Green Metallic Fleetwood Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was born for the great outdoors, specifically tailored for the sprawling sides of a 2005 motorhome. Since your rig has been navigating campgrounds and highway miles for nearly two decades, the finish has likely weathered the sun and rain. This shade is a deep, organic green that mimics the forest floor. It was designed to help a massive vehicle blend into the trees rather than stand out like a white box. Because your motorhome has such large flat surfaces, any repair needs to account for the way light hits those expansive panels.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes that catch the light to give the paint depth. Metallics are more temperamental than solid colors because those flakes like to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look darker and flatter than the surrounding area. You also risk mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark streaks or spots. To avoid this, you must ensure the flakes stay suspended in the paint throughout the entire process so they lay down evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Moss Green Metallic (check for code PNS393), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code plate inside the bedroom wardrobe closet or on the driver's side door frame. Once you are ready to work in the shade, remember to keep the container moving to prevent the metallic particles from pooling in one spot. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before applying it to your Fleetwood. If the color looks too dark on your card, shake it harder to wake up those metallic bits. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish remains level and smooth.
