Your Paint Color Profile

M9308K - Dark Purple

The Look

This is a rich, regal shade that represents a specific era of luxury for the 2005 Newmar lineup. Back then, this color was typically reserved for the high-end full-body paint packages on models like the Dutch Star or Mountain Aire, often appearing as a deep, dramatic accent in the sweeping graphics. Since your Motorhome has been navigating the highways for nearly two decades, this dark hue has likely developed a character of its own. It is a sophisticated choice that shifts its personality depending on the sunlight, moving from a near-black in the shade to a deep, bruised violet when the sun hits the side of the coach.

Technical Details

This finish is a complex metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to create that signature depth. The challenge with dark metallics like this is the risk of mottling or striping. If those metallic particles don't settle evenly, you might see "tiger stripes" or dark splotches where the flakes have bunched together. This happens because the heavy particles want to sink or clump if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. To get a professional result in your garage, you must ensure the flakes lay flat and uniform so they reflect light consistently across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can usually find your specific paint information on the large data label or "Build Thread" sticker located inside your bedroom wardrobe or on the back of a kitchen cabinet door. Before you apply any Newmar Dark Purple (verify your code is M9308K), you must shake the container for a full two minutes. This is non-negotiable for metallics because the flakes settle at the bottom quickly. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the pigment has fully mixed. When you begin, keep the container moving in steady, even passes to maintain a consistent flow. Avoid the temptation to over-apply; several thin layers will look much better than one thick coat. Give the area plenty of drying time between each layer to ensure the finish remains crisp and deep.

Find your Newmar paint code

The Newmar color code may be on the vehicle but is sometimes well hidden, and some vehicles have no color codes at all. Locating it often requires direct contact with Newmar. Newmar may advise on the code location and can provide PPG or Dupont paint formula numbers or alternate formulas when no code exists. Hidden or missing codes are resolved by contacting Newmar. Paint information and vehicle details submitted via the contact form help identify or make the color.

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.
