COLOR CODE632227 - Anthracite (PPG 301188)Newmar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is a deep, sophisticated charcoal that Newmar used to anchor the multi-tone graphics on their 2008 motorhomes. Since your coach has likely spent plenty of time on the open road, this color is usually found on the lower skirts or accent swooshes where gravel and road debris do the most damage. It is a mature, professional shade that hides road grime far better than lighter silvers while still offering enough character to catch the sun during a desert sunset.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny aluminum flakes. These flakes give the finish its depth and shimmer, but they require a bit of care. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes can sink or cluster, leading to dark, uneven patches called mottling. Before you spray or dab Newmar Anthracite (PPG 301188) (check for code 632227), you must shake the container thoroughly to ensure those metallic particles are evenly distributed for a consistent look.

Best Practices

Finding your paint information on a Newmar can feel like a scavenger hunt, but the factory usually places a detailed color ID plate inside a kitchen cabinet door or on a wall inside the rear wardrobe. When you are ready to begin, test the color on the included card to confirm it matches the current state of your finish. To keep the metallic flakes from bunching up, keep the container moving and apply the paint in light, thin layers. Allow for plenty of drying time between these layers to build the color safely and maintain that uniform factory shimmer.
