COLOR CODE817229FB - Dark Bronzemist MetallicWinnebago Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Dark Bronzemist Metallic represents a sophisticated era of Winnebago design where rich, earthy tones replaced the basic flat whites of the past. Since your coach has been on the road for over a decade, you have probably noticed this color is a champion at hiding road dust and light grime. It is a deep, chocolate-bronze that shows off a gold-tinted shimmer under direct sun but looks grounded and dark in the shade. It gives your 2012 model a premium, substantial feel that modern coaches still try to emulate.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with fine flakes that catch light to create depth. Metallic paint looks great, but it has a specific risk: mottling. If the flakes do not settle in a flat, level line, you get dark patches or stripes that ruin the effect. If you apply the paint in one thick coat, the flakes bunch up instead of spreading out. Thin layers are the secret to keeping the color consistent and making the repair blend with the original factory finish.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Winnebago Dark Bronzemist Metallic (check for code 817229FB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This wakes up the heavy metallic particles that settle at the bottom of the container. You can find your official color details on the Motor Home Component Information Sheet inside your InfoCase or on a label on the driver's door frame. Test the color on the included card to check the flow and see how the flakes lay before you touch the RV. Work in the shade and keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. This ensures a quick drying time and a uniform look across the repair.
