COLOR CODE954053 - Light BrownRV-Other Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a hallmark of the 2012 Thor motorhome lineup, designed to give your rig a grounded, organic presence at the campsite. It is a sophisticated earth tone that handles the realities of the road well, masking the inevitable layers of dust and desert sand you pick up between destinations. Since your Thor has been out in the elements for over a decade, the original finish might have shifted slightly from its factory state, but this shade remains one of the most forgiving neutrals to repair.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which gives the surface its depth and shimmer when the sun hits the side of the coach. Metallic paints are more temperamental than solids because the tiny flakes inside the liquid need to lay flat to reflect light evenly. If you apply the paint too thick or too fast, those flakes can bunch together and create dark, blotchy patches. Consistency is the only way to ensure the repair disappears into the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab RV-Other Light Brown (check for code 954053), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this paint code on the Federal Certification label near the driver's seat or tucked inside a bedroom wardrobe closet door. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the actual vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid "puddling" the metallic particles. Work in the shade to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time too much, which can cause the finish to look rough or textured.
