808656K - Platinum Silver Fleetwood Touch Up Paint

The Look

Fleetwood chose this shade to give your motorhome a technical, high-end feel that resists the visual fatigue of long road trips. Since your coach has been weathering the elements since 2015, the original finish has likely dulled slightly from UV exposure and road grime. This silver is a master at hiding light scratches and road dust, which is why it was a staple for the 2015 model year. It provides a clean, professional appearance that keeps a massive vehicle from looking like a flat block of solid color.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it is packed with tiny light-reflecting flakes that give the paint its depth. Silver is notoriously difficult to match because those flakes need to lay down in a specific pattern to catch the light correctly. If you apply the paint too heavily, the metallic particles will sink and bunch together, creating dark spots or streaks known as mottling. This is not a failure of the paint but a result of how the flakes settle in the liquid. You want to achieve an even distribution so the repair disappears into the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Platinum Silver (check for code 808656K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend the metallic flakes. You can typically find your paint code on the Federal Certification Tag located on the driver's door jamb or on the build sheet often tucked inside a kitchen cabinet door. To avoid dark patches, apply several very thin layers rather than one thick one. Test the color on the included card and let it reach its full drying time before comparing it to your coach. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure the finish remains uniform. Work in the shade to prevent the surface from getting too hot, which can cause the paint to dry before the flakes have a chance to level out.
