RM195 - Maroon Winnebago Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are looking at a deep, sophisticated burgundy that defined the exterior aesthetic of many motorhomes during the mid-to-late 2000s. Since your Winnebago has likely spent years navigating highways and national parks, this color has probably matured under the sun. It is a rich, wine-heavy red that leans more toward a classic plum than a bright cherry. Because it was used across nearly all models from 2006 to 2012 as a primary accent or part of the full-body paint packages, it carries a sense of timeless road-trip nostalgia.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the secret is in the suspension of the tiny flakes within the paint. Before you spray or dab Winnebago Maroon (check for code RM195), you need to shake the container for a full minute to ensure those flakes are distributed. If the metallic particles settle at the bottom, your repair will look like a flat, dark brown rather than a shimmering burgundy. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, which looks like dark clouds or stripes, if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot. To avoid this, keep the layers thin and consistent.

Best Practices

Finding your specific paint sheet can be a hunt; Winnebago usually hides the exterior color label inside a wardrobe cabinet door or on the driver's door jamb. If it isn't there, check the Component Information Sheet in your black InfoCase bag. When you are ready to work, find a spot in the shade or your garage to keep the surface cool. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic flake lays down. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats rather than trying to cover the damage in one thick layer. This patience ensures the new finish sits level with the original paint.
