COLOR CODE784674K - Swedish Blue MetallicFleetwood Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade has spent two decades dressing up massive motorhomes, and for good reason. It is a mature blue that balances presence with practicality. It isn't a loud racing color; it's a deep tone that suggests your coach is ready for the coast. Since your Fleetwood has likely been on the road for a while, you have probably noticed that this blue is great at masking road grime and dust. However, after years of highway miles, you need to watch for oxidation. When you patch a chip, your new paint might look slightly deeper than the weathered finish next to it, so focus on thin layers to help the new material blend with the old.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the secret is in the flakes. These tiny particles give the paint its shimmer, but they are also temperamental. If you let the container sit still, the flakes sink to the bottom. This leads to dark splotches that look more like a bruise than a blue. To avoid stripes or mottling across the surface, you must keep the container moving. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, the goal is to keep those flakes suspended so they lay down flat and catch the light evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Swedish Blue Metallic (check for code 784674K), you need to locate your data plate. Fleetwood usually hides this sticker inside a wardrobe closet, a kitchen cabinet, or on the driver's side door jamb. Once you have the match, shake that container for a full two minutes. You want to hear that mixing ball working hard to stir up the metallic sediment. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to ensure the shade is right. Work in the shade, keep your layers thin, and give each pass plenty of drying time to ensure the finish stays smooth and professional.
