COLOR CODE4995-DAU - Shale PolyFleetwood Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive neutral for the mid-to-late nineties road warrior. Your Motorhome spent decades chasing sunsets, and this earthy gray-brown tone is a master at hiding road grime or desert dust. It captures a specific era where RV design moved away from flat colors toward sophisticated, nature-inspired palettes. Your rig has been on the road since the nineties, and the original finish has changed under the sun. Expect the old paint to have a different character than the fresh stuff in your hand.

Technical Details

The "Poly" in the name means you are working with a metallic finish. Those tiny flakes give the color its depth, but they settle at the bottom of the container. If you fail to mix them, the repair looks dark or flat compared to the rest of the panel. Metallic finishes are sensitive to how those particles land. A steady hand makes the difference. If the flakes bunch up, the spot catches the light and stands out.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Shale Poly (check for code 4995-DAU), you need to shake it for a full minute. Look for this code on a sticker inside a wardrobe closet, a kitchen cabinet door, or near the driver-side door frame. Once the area is clean, test the color on the included card to check the flake density. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the metal particles from pooling. Give the surface drying time between light layers. Do not try to cover the spot in one heavy pass. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the metal from getting too hot.
