    Recommendations for paint chips

    Finally got a chance to wash a cross country trip of dirt off the camper. While rediscovering the nose cap, also discovered some chips in the black paint. Any suggested means of repairing these?

    I got the full body paint on my Momentum, there were three little jars of touch up paint in a drawer. Barring finding those your dealer should be able to get you paint codes from GD, you may even be able to get them yourself. My dealer works with a local body shop that does custom paint for RV's, they were willing to mix up a little jar of paint for touch up.

    I have found that oversized mud flaps help prevent road debris hitting the trailer.

    I'm waiting for a call back from GD regarding some other issues, I'll have to see if I can get the codes at the same time. Had not thought about that. We are definitely needing to figure out some mud flaps, tires stick out further than our fender flares even do so may be a little challenge.

    I wonder if auto companies like drcolorchip can match that so long as you have the color code. Maybe one of those small airbrushes might work as well.

    Let us know what you find from GD. I have quite a few chips on my Solitude including in the black. After I waxed it last week I took a Sharpie to it...almost looks ok
    Thanx
