COLOR CODE62974 - Medium Aqua (PPG 5858)Winnebago Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the hallmark of the mid-2000s era when Winnebago shifted toward the high-end look of full-body paint. It appeared across the entire lineup, from the nimble Aspect to the flagship Vectra. Since your motorhome has likely been chasing horizons since the mid-2000s, the original finish has spent a lot of time in the sun. This means the aqua might have shifted slightly from its factory tone, so your main goal is blending. It is a peaceful, coastal hue that bridges the gap between a deep forest green and a sky blue, giving your rig a clean, nautical presence that still looks contemporary today.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Winnebago Medium Aqua (PPG 5858) (check for code 62974), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles to give the paint its depth and shimmer. If you don't mix it thoroughly, those particles stay at the bottom of the container and your repair will look like a flat, dark smudge instead of a matching aqua. Metallics are sensitive to how they are applied; if the paint goes on too heavy, the metal flakes "flop" and create dark shadows. You want to build the color slowly to keep the finish uniform.

Best Practices

You can find your specific paint info on the vehicle certification label, usually located on the wall next to the driver's seat or on the door pillar. Because this is a metallic, you must test the color on the included card before touching your Winnebago. This helps you get a feel for the flow and ensures the flakes are distributing correctly. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the metal skin of the RV cool to the touch. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Several light passes are always better than one thick layer, especially when you are trying to match a finish that has aged in the sun.
