5162 - Ebony SatinRV-Other Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you are working on a 2005 Tiffin, you are likely dealing with one of the most sophisticated full-body paint schemes of its era. This shade was the anchor for the high-end looks found on models like the Allegro Bus and Phaeton, providing a deep, grounding contrast against the lighter sands and silvers. Because your motorhome has spent nearly two decades chasing the sun across the country, this color has likely seen its share of UV exposure and road debris. It is a classic, authoritative black that gives your rig a premium weight and a clean, sharp presence on the road.

Technical Details

This is a solid black finish without any metallic or pearl flakes. While that might sound simple, solid blacks are some of the most demanding colors to repair. Because there is no sparkle to distract the eye, every minor ripple or uneven layer will show up under direct sunlight. The benefit of a solid is that you do not have to worry about the orientation of metallic particles, which can often look different depending on your angle of application. You are dealing with pure, inky pigment that provides a deep reflection when the surface is properly prepared.

Best Practices

To find your official data sheet, look inside your bedroom closet, the kitchen cabinet doors, or on the entrance door jamb. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Ebony Satin (check for code 5162), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy black pigments are evenly distributed so the color does not come out grey or streaky. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match against your current finish before touching the vehicle. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up and allow for plenty of drying time between each thin coat. Working in the shade will prevent the paint from drying too fast and becoming textured.
