Your Paint Color Profile

353H1 - Black Metallic

The Look

Owning a motorhome with a full-body paint scheme is a major upgrade from the standard white gelcoat, and this specific black provides a deep, premium anchor for those complex 2017 graphics. It creates a mirror-like depth that looks imposing on the road, though you likely already know that black is the most demanding color to maintain. It absorbs heat and reveals every dust particle from the campsite. Since your motorhome has been out in the elements for several years, the surrounding finish has likely weathered, so your repair will help restore that cohesive, high-end appearance that the Berkshire and Georgetown models are known for.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny suspended flakes to catch the light and create that characteristic shimmer. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark spots or stripes if applied too heavily. Because these flakes are heavier than the paint itself, they tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look like a flat charcoal rather than a deep black. Before you spray or dab Forest-River Black Metallic (check for code 353H1), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those flakes are evenly distributed.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code sticker tucked away inside a kitchen cabinet door or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. If it is not there, check the driver's side door frame for a build data plate. When you are ready to work, move the motorhome into a garage or a shade area to keep the fiberglass surface cool. Test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic density matches your specific coach. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddling the flakes. Use thin, light layers and allow for plenty of drying time between passes. This prevents the heavy black pigment from sagging and ensures the nozzle or brush leaves a smooth, level surface that blends into the original finish.

How to Find Your Forest-River's Color Code

Forest-River can indicate where to find the color code; codes are sometimes well hidden, and some vehicles do not have color codes. Manufacturer assistance before searching the vehicle is emphasized, since hidden codes may require it. PPG or Dupont numbers can substitute for a missing code; questions include whether they know the PPG paint formula number or the Dupont paint formula number.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
