COLOR CODE63043 - Stratus MetallicNewmar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome carries a legacy of road-tested elegance. Because Newmar has relied on this shade for nearly three decades, you are working with a color that defines the modern RV aesthetic. It is a sophisticated, mid-tone silver that balances the visual weight of a massive coach. Since your Newmar has likely spent years under the sun, the finish has probably matured, making it a champion at hiding road grime and small desert pinstripes.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. Metallics are less forgiving than solid paints because those flakes need to lay flat to match the surrounding area. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and make the repair look darker or cloudy. Before you spray or dab Newmar Stratus Metallic (check for code 63043), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those heavy metallic particles are suspended in the resin rather than sitting at the bottom of the container.

Best Practices

To find your confirmation sticker, look inside your kitchen cabinet doors or on the wall of the wardrobe; Newmar usually tucks the full-body paint schedule in a dry, protected spot. When you start the repair, work in the shade to keep the surface cool. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Apply thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. This patience prevents the metallic flakes from shifting, ensuring your touch-up blends into the side of the coach rather than standing out.
