COLOR CODESS1150 - BrownRV-Other Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Tiffin owners recognize this shade as the quiet workhorse of their full-body paint designs. Whether you are driving a Phaeton or an Allegro Bus, this color was a staple for over a decade because it bridges the gap between a classic earth tone and a modern metallic. Since your RV has likely seen its share of highway miles and campground dust, you probably appreciate how this tone masks road grime better than almost any other in the Tiffin catalog. It provides a grounded, premium feel that keeps the vehicle looking clean even when you are a few hundred miles away from the nearest wash station.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the look is defined by the way light hits the microscopic flakes suspended in the paint. It is not a flat solid color; there is a depth to it that changes depending on the sun. This poses a specific challenge for repairs: if the paint is applied too heavily or if the pigments aren't perfectly mixed, the repaired spot can look significantly darker or muddy compared to the original finish. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Brown (check for code SS1150), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those metallic particles are fully distributed.

Best Practices

Finding your paint layout is usually simple on a Tiffin; check the inside of your bedroom closet door or a kitchen cabinet for a printed data sheet. When you start your repair, test the color on the included card to confirm the flake density matches your coach. To avoid a dark, blotchy patch, keep the container moving and apply the paint in thin, even layers. Allow for plenty of drying time between these light coats. This patience prevents the metallic flakes from stacking awkwardly, ensuring the repair blends into the surrounding panel rather than standing out as a dark spot. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool while you work.
