Your Paint Color Profile

63043 - Stratus Metallic

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.

How to Find Your Newmar's Color 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.
