GM14U 303M - SilverForest-River Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your motorhome covers a lot of ground, this silver is a total workhorse. It does not show road grime or dust like a darker shade would, which is exactly why it was a staple for the 2015 lineup. This color gives a massive coach a sleek, streamlined appearance while helping to reflect heat when you are parked in the sun. It is a practical, professional choice that keeps the vehicle looking clean even after a long day on the highway.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. That means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that reflect light to give the surface depth. Metallic colors are sensitive to how they are applied. If you put the paint on too heavy, those flakes will sink and the repair will look darker than the surrounding area. You want to aim for light, consistent layers to keep the silver looking bright and to prevent the flakes from clumping together into blotches.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Forest-River Silver (check for code GM14U 303M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully mix those metallic particles. You can usually find this code on the yellow weight and cargo sticker located inside your entry door or on a label tucked inside one of the kitchen cabinets. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific coach. When you are ready to apply the paint in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving at all times. This prevents the metallic finish from looking striped or patchy. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to build up the color slowly.
