COLOR CODE9A - Carbon Gray MetallicRV-Other Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Leisure-Travel motorhome is an investment in a specific kind of modern, architectural aesthetic. This color is a departure from the dated white-and-beige boxes of the past. It gives your van a grounded, stealthy presence that looks as good in a national park as it does in a city center. Because your rig is likely a 2024 model, the factory finish still has its deep luster, which makes matching the depth of this gray even more important.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which presents a unique challenge for a repair. The color relies on millions of tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch the light. If those flakes do not land evenly, you will notice dark spots or light striping where the paint looks inconsistent. Metallic paints are sensitive to how you hold the container. Keeping the container moving ensures those flakes distribute across the surface rather than clumping together in a single spot. If the flakes clump, the repair will look like a smudge instead of a reflection.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint identification sticker inside the wardrobe cabinet or on the driver side door frame. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Carbon Gray Metallic (check for code 9A), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to wake up the heavy metallic sediment at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to confirm the flake distribution looks right before moving to your vehicle. Work in the shade to prevent the sun from drying the paint before it has a chance to lay flat. When applying, use thin layers and give each one enough drying time to settle before adding the next. This patience prevents the metallic particles from sagging.
