COLOR CODEDM150 - Blue MetallicRV-Other Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Thor or Leisure-Travel coach has carried this deep, sophisticated blue for over a decade. It is a color that signifies a high-end build, providing a rich, oceanic depth that looks more expensive than a standard white or beige finish. Because it is a darker shade, it does a decent job of hiding light road dust during long trips, but you will certainly notice every fingerprint or fuel spill against that reflective surface. Since your RV has likely seen its share of sun and highway miles, this blue is the key to maintaining that premium curb appeal.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains microscopic flakes that catch the light. These flakes are the reason your RV looks different under the midday sun than it does at dusk. However, metallic paints are sensitive to your application technique. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metal flakes will clump together and create dark, splotchy areas. To get a uniform shimmer that matches the rest of the body, you must apply thin, even layers rather than one heavy coat.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab RV-Other Blue Metallic (check for code DM150), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on a silver sticker inside the driver's door frame or tucked away on the interior wall of the wardrobe. Test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic flake density looks right before you touch the coach. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the surface. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or trapping moisture.
