Coachmen-RV All Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Coachmen-RV clearly decided that just because you're living in a parking lot doesn't mean you shouldn't look like a million bucks. With 31 recorded colors, they really went for it. We're talking about everything from the sophisticated Bordeaux Rose and Sabi Park Green to the "I definitely mean business" Dark Torradour. Whether your rig is draped in Light Antelope Beige Metallic or looks like it's ready for a gala in Champagne Pewter, Coachmen ensured your home on wheels has more personality than most people's actual houses.
What to Watch For
Now, let's be real: your RV is a giant sail made of fiberglass and dreams, and the sun wants to eat it. Keep a sharp eye on the "roof radius"-that curved area where the roof meets the side walls-and the front end caps. These spots are notorious for clear coat peeling (looking like a bad sunburn) and "chalking," where the paint turns into a white, powdery mess.
Finding your paint code can be a bit of a scavenger hunt. Check the inside of your wardrobe or kitchen cabinet doors for a build sheet; if it's not there, you might need to call Coachmen with your VIN to get the specific PPG or DuPont formula. Don't worry if you see tiny spiderweb cracks in the beige areas; that's just the fiberglass "checking," and a quick touch-up can seal those right up before they get ideas about spreading.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Coachmen colors-like Medium Bronze Pearl or Gold Beige Metallic-are packed with tiny sparkles, you need to be a human paint mixer. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. I'm serious. If you don't, you'll just be dabbing on clear liquid and leaving all the "pretty" at the bottom of the jar.
When you're filling a chip, use the "Dab and Wait" method. Don't try to fill the entire crater in one go, or you'll end up with a sagging drip. Apply one thin layer, go grab a cold drink, and come back 20 minutes later for the second layer. Think of it like building a tiny cake-patience keeps the layers flat and the finish looking smooth.
