COLOR CODECV67077 - Paradise Lt. Grey MetallicFleetwood Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Fleetwood motorhome was built to live on the road, and this mid-2000s neutral tone was a smart choice for long-haul travel. Because your coach has been exposed to the sun and highway grit since 2004 or 2005, this specific grey has likely done a lot of work hiding road film and dust. It is a practical, sophisticated shade that bridges the gap between the heavy graphics of that era and a clean, modern aesthetic. Since your vehicle has aged, the existing paint might have shifted slightly in hue, so your goal is to blend this fresh pigment into a surface that has seen its fair share of miles.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes that reflect light to give the surface depth. Metallic paints are notorious for being temperamental because those flakes like to settle at the bottom of the container or bunch up during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will float and create dark patches or blotchy "mottling" that ruins the uniform look of your motorhome. To get a consistent finish, you must maintain a steady flow and ensure the flakes lay down flat against the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Paradise Lt. Grey Metallic (check for code CV67077), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those metallic particles. You can usually find your paint code sticker inside the bedroom wardrobe, on the back of a kitchen cabinet door, or near the driver-side door frame. Once you have the surface clean, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. When you begin the repair in the garage or the shade, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy build-up. Let the drying time work for you by applying thin layers rather than one thick coat, which helps the metallic elements lock into place without shifting.
