The Look

If you are staring at a chip on your motorhome, you are likely looking at the lower trim or a storage bay door. This shade is a workhorse. It was designed to bridge the gap between the graphics on the upper body and the durable plastic components that take the brunt of the highway. Because it is an earth tone, it stays clean-looking even when covered in road dust. After years of travel, your original finish has likely flattened out from sun exposure. Your new application will look fresh, so do not be surprised if the repair has a bit more depth than the weathered panels surrounding it.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there is no metallic flake or pearl involved. This makes your job much simpler because you do not have to worry about the orientation of the paint or "tiger stripes" appearing in the finish. However, solid colors are honest. They show every bit of texture or leftover wax on the surface. Since this color is often used to match rotomolded plastics, the texture of the material underneath matters. If you are working on a smooth fiberglass section, the paint will lay flat, but on textured plastic, it will follow the grain of the part.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint schedule sticker tucked inside a wardrobe closet or on the wall next to the driver's seat. Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Roto Beige (check for code 740957K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the most important step for getting the pigments to behave. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching your coach. To avoid drips, keep the container moving and apply light, thin layers. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure the drying time remains consistent and the sun does not force the paint to set before it has leveled out.
