COLOR CODE823983FB - Light BeigeItasca Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your 2012 Itasca likely carries this color as part of a multi-tone full-body paint scheme. This shade was a staple for that year, appearing on everything from the nimble Navion to the flagship Ellipse. It is a warm, desert-inspired hue designed to mask the dust of the road while maintaining a high-end feel. Because your coach has spent a decade or more facing the sun, you might notice the original finish has matured. This beige is forgiving with dirt, but it demands an exact match to avoid looking like a patch of mud against the side of your home on wheels.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny suspended flakes that catch the light. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look dull or darker than it should. You also run the risk of mottling-where the metal bits bunch up in one spot and create dark clouds or stripes. To avoid this, maintain a steady flow and keep the container moving across the surface to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Itasca Light Beige (check for code 823983FB), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds after the mixing ball starts rattling. You can usually find your paint code on the Motor Home Component Information Sheet inside your black "InfoCase" or on a sticker located inside a wardrobe cabinet door or the driver-side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the coach. Apply the paint in thin layers in a protected garage or the shade, allowing plenty of drying time between each pass. This patience ensures the metallics align correctly and blend into the surrounding finish.
