COLOR CODE59555 - Medium GrayNewmar Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This mid-tone gray was a staple for the 2018 motorhome lineup, serving as an anchor for the full-body paint designs Newmar is known for. It provides a balance between the lighter silvers and deep blacks used on these large coaches. Since your motorhome has been navigating the highways for several years, you will notice that this shade does a good job of masking road dust and light grime. It is a practical color for a long-distance traveler because it hides the wear of the road.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny suspended flakes to give the surface depth when the sun hits it. Metallics can be temperamental because the flakes tend to settle at the bottom of the container or cluster together if you apply a heavy coat. Before you spray or dab Newmar Medium Gray (check for code 59555), you must shake the container for a full minute to distribute those particles. If you skip this, the color may appear darker or more dull than the rest of the coach.

Best Practices

You will find your specific paint layout on the build sheet located inside a kitchen cabinet door or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. To get a clean result, test the color on the included card to verify the match once dry before applying it to the coach. When you are ready to work, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic flakes land in a consistent layer across the repair area. Apply multiple thin layers instead of one thick coat, and give each layer drying time to prevent the paint from sagging.
