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.
    Thank you for the reply. Fortunately for me, the winter storage owner has accepted full responsibility.

    Are those full gallons you purchased? Should last you a life time.

    Any chance you have and can send pictures of your cap after the touch-up was done. That would really be helpful to know how well the touch-up matched and also if you have the same cap as our Solitude. You can use the forum, or my direct email is - [email protected] - .

    Thanks.

    Sorry about the name spelling of Jon which should be John. I was sure that I saw it somewhere as Jon.

    Rich: I had the front cap resprayed. It was not a brush touchup. The new paint was blended into the existing, so you don't see any difference. It looks like new.

    Solitude Paint Codes

    I called Grand Design { (574) 825-9679 } to obtain Paint Codes with my VIN #. They were extremely courteous, helpful and fast. I quickly had a PDF for paint codes for the cap paint in my email. They said they don’t have codes for the remainder of the coach except for the cap unless it has full body paint.


    So, I decided to take samples to a local paint store. There is no Sikkens paint store anywhere near us so I decided to go to a local store (Sherwin-Williams) to see what they could do. Sherwin-Williams was unable to cross-reference the Sikkens paint codes to their equivalent.


    So, I cut two samples of sheet metal from the skirting that represented the Ivory and the Brushed Nickel colors on my rig. Sherwin-Williams was able to match the Ivory so well, I had a hard time seeing where they tested it on my sheet metal sample. The Brushed Nickel is not a perfect match because it has metal flake in it and Sherwin-Williams cannot duplicate that. In the cut samples image I decided to go with the Brushed Nickel represented in the bottom left on the sheet metal sample.


    Results are below.

    My Unit happens to be a 2020 373FB model.

    Front Cap Codes from Sikkens:
    Black: 920887
    Ivory: GD-100
    Brushed Nickel: 937264-2

    You might try these folks. If they can color match based on paint codes yo might be able to get small bottle (or spray).

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.

    Do you have an address for the Mesa store? I googled it but nothing came up and the search tool on their website doesn’t work.
