Has anyone tried matching the colors mentioned above for their Solitude 310-GK(x)? We just got back from a 4,500 mile trip and when I washed the front cap, it was riddled with very small rock chips on the entire cap (well over 100). Made me sick to my stomach.
Our Solitude 310-GK is a 2018. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Rob! I probably should just contact them directly for the exact codes.
Funny that you responded because I noticed you have Sailuns on your Solitude and am wondering how you like them? I’ll need to replace my Westlakes soon and have seen the big rigs running the Sailuns as well.
Thanks again.2020 GMC Denali 3500HD

I needed the same for my Solitude. The front cap has lots of rock chips. I went to Single Source (https://www.ncsssi.com/store-locations) which sells PPG automotive paints. They list paint for Solitudes under "Solitude RV" and/or Grand Design. The current codes in their system are 953530 (Gray), 982211 (Black) and 953525 (Ivory) for Solitude's 2018 and up. These are base paints, not single stage formulas.

@JonSr., I know this is an older post, but have a few scratches that the winter storage facility put on my cap when they put me into storage. Called GD customer service to get paint codes. They sent me codes for Sikkens paints - 920887 (black metallic); GD-100 (ivory); 937264-2 (brushed nickel). These are supposed to be codes for use on Solitudes 2018-2021.
Question: how did your paint from PPG work out?
Question for others: have any of you sourced Sikkens paints? If so, how did it work for you?John & Mary

I had given up on finding any paint to match our 2019 Solitude 310GK. I can't believe that any of the mentioned paint suppliers would provide the small quantity required for chip tough ups. So the question is has anyone been able to purchase a small touch up quantity of paint, and how was the match? We are currently in Mesa, AZ for the winter, and there is a Single Source store reasonably close by. Maybe I will try them to see if they are able to supply. Will advise.

What you should know is that Sikkens is PPG Proluxe. When I went to the Single Source store, the Grand Design paint codes were already in their system. I listed those codes in my earlier post. Fortunately, I have a nephew who is a painter at a body shop - he’s literally a master at his trade - so I didn’t have to do much more than buy the paint. The key to know is that this is not single stage paint. It’s base paint and actually requires a clear coat. My experience is that the silver/ gray and black matches very well straight out of the can. The ivory not so much. Because the store has to mix the paint, you can’t buy less than a pint, and be forewarned - it’s not cheap.
I hope this information helps.Last edited by JonSr.; 11-23-2022 at 09:01 PM. Reason: Error

JonSr.
Thanks for the info. I will try the local Single Source Store. Our cap has the ivory but also a brown or purple-y brown colour with the sparkly looking tinge to it. Did the store have that colour listed also? It is dark but I wouldn't refer to it as black. I thought all of the Solitudes of that vintage had the same colour scheme.
