M6362F - BlackForest-River Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 2007 motorhome was designed at the peak of the full-body paint revolution in the RV industry. This specific black was the anchor for those massive, sweeping graphics that define the era. It is a deep, formal tone that provides the visual weight needed to make the metallic silvers and golds of the era pop. Since your Motorhome has likely seen its fair share of highways and campgrounds over the last two decades, this black has probably endured plenty of UV exposure, but its depth remains the key to keeping that high-end, luxury coach aesthetic.

Technical Details

This is a solid, non-metallic finish, which makes it a double-edged sword for your repair. The good news is that you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating weird shadows. The challenge is that solid black is the most unforgiving color on the planet. It hides nothing. Because it lacks metallic sparkle to distract the eye, any high spots or textures in your repair will be visible from several feet away. You are aiming for a glass-like smoothness, which is why layering is so important to match the original depth of the factory clear coat.

Best Practices

Finding your specific color information can be a bit of a scavenger hunt, but you should start by checking the inside of your kitchen cabinet doors or the wall of the bedroom wardrobe for a printed data sheet. Before you spray or dab Forest-River Black (check for code M6362F), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are perfectly blended. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for the flow before you move to the actual panel. Whether you are using a brush or a nozzle, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time in a garage or a patch of shade before you consider a second coat.
