COLOR CODEDM120 (2017) - Green MetallicRV-Other Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is an earthy, sophisticated green designed to help a large motorhome blend into a forest campsite rather than standing out like a white box. On a Thor or Tiffin rig, this color creates a grounded and expensive presence that hides road dust and highway grime remarkably well. Because your Leisure-Travel van has likely spent significant time exposed to the elements, this pigment is a favorite for its ability to look clean even after a long day of travel. It is a mature choice for owners who prefer an organic, nature-inspired aesthetic over the flashy silvers and blacks common in the luxury market.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a heavy metallic finish, which presents a specific challenge during a repair. The paint is packed with tiny reflective flakes that provide its characteristic depth. If these flakes do not lay flat or if they cluster together, you will see dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. This matters because a large RV panel has nowhere for mistakes to hide. Working in a Garage or deep Shade is vital to ensure the paint stays wet long enough for those metallic particles to settle evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

Start by hunting down your paint code, which is usually tucked away on the entry door jamb or inside a bedroom closet on the master paint sheet. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Green Metallic (check for code DM120 (2017)), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. Since metallic flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom of the container, thorough mixing is the only way to avoid a color that looks too dark. Test the color on the included card to verify the flake density before touching the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes. Use light layers rather than one heavy coat, and allow plenty of drying time between each layer to prevent the metallic particles from shifting while the paint sets.
