2017 Newmar Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Newmar Vibe

Welcome to 2017, the year Newmar decided that if one earth tone was good, twenty-four were better. Whether you were piloting a top-tier King Aire or a legendary Dutch Star, the "Masterpiece Finish" was the name of the game. Our database is practically a catalog of high-end sunsets, featuring heavy hitters like Cajun Spice Obsidian and Midnight Pine Pearl. It was an era of "Greige" dominance, where Kalahari Beige Metallic and Mojave Beige (PPG 5256) ruled the campgrounds. If your coach looks like it was painted by someone who really appreciates a good espresso-and we mean Espresso (M9308K) specifically-you're right on brand for 2017.

Paint Health Check

Now for the salty truth: you've got a "Thin Paint Era" rig. By 2017, the robots in the paint booth were so efficient they could stretch a gallon of clear coat from Indiana to the Florida Keys. This "Robot Efficiency" means your finish is surgically precise but lacks the "meat" of older coaches. The conflict? Those thin layers are prone to road-rash chips on the front cap and UV-induced hazing on the roof radius. If you're seeing Antelope Metallic (B9148K) or Stratus Metallic start to lose its depth, it's because there's just not much clear coat left to buff.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing chips on a 2017 Newmar, the golden rule is: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory paint is so thin and brittle, a giant glob of touch-up will never lay flat and will likely pop out the first time the fiberglass flexes. Use a fine-tip applicator for that Topaz Metallic (PPG 4898) or Coronado Sand Metallic. Apply three or four "whisper-thin" layers rather than one big drop. Patience is the only way to match that robotic precision without making your motorhome look like it has the measles.
