COLOR CODE50311 - Medium Graphite Metallic -4986Itasca Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade defined the 2008 Itasca lineup, providing an industrial, grounded look that hides road grime and dust far better than the lighter tans of that era. It is a hardworking neutral designed for the long haul. Since this color was applied across all models, it carries a sense of uniform reliability. Your motorhome has likely spent years under the sun, which can shift the original tone slightly, but this graphite remains a forgiving choice for maintaining that clean, factory-fresh appearance.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with tiny flakes that create depth when the sun hits the panels. These flakes are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the reservoir, which creates a risk of mottling. If the metallic particles clump together, your repair will look like a dark, blotchy stain instead of a smooth surface. You have to be diligent about keeping those particles suspended to ensure the repair matches the surrounding area.

Best Practices

You will typically find your color information on the service part identification label, which Itasca usually hides inside a wardrobe door or on the wall near the driver's seat. Before you spray or dab Itasca Medium Graphite Metallic -4986 (check for code 50311), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the vehicle. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in the garage or the shade to give the paint plenty of drying time between thin layers, which helps the new finish sit flush with the old.
