PNS135 - Sage Metallic Fleetwood Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome carries a color that defined the mid-2000s road trip aesthetic. This earthy green-grey was designed to blend into the landscapes of national parks while hiding the dust and road grime that come with long hauls. Because your rig has been out in the elements since 2005, you might notice the original finish has softened over the years. This new paint will likely look more vibrant than the faded panels around it, but it remains one of the most forgiving colors for a DIY repair because of its muted tone.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish. Those tiny flakes are what give the surface depth, but they can be temperamental. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes cluster together and create dark, blotchy patches. If you apply it too lightly, the color might look a bit sheer. Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Sage Metallic (check for code PNS135), you need to shake the container for a full 60 seconds to get those settled flakes back into the mix.

Best Practices

You can usually find your specific paint scheme details on a weight and data sticker hidden inside a bedroom wardrobe door or the back of a kitchen cabinet. Once you are ready to work in the shade, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. Whether you are using a pen or a spray, keep the container moving to prevent the metallic particles from pooling. Apply three thin layers rather than one thick one, allowing enough drying time between passes so the finish remains level and uniform.
