    Paint touch up on cap

    I have a few stone chips on the cap. I requested from GD the paint code for the cap on our unit. They sent a list and picture of all the paint codes but could not specify which code was used on our unit. The best I can determine is that ours is the 2018 Burgundy PPG code 953082. I have not yet tried to match the picture to the cap to see if I can match it perfectly. GD told me that I could go to any auto body repair shop and buy some paint to use for touch up. Our does not have full body paint, just the cap, as I understand it.

    Has anyone found paint for using for stone chip touch ups?

    Thanks.

    I'm having same problem. Gd gave me some codes. The first of which, when I called auto paint store, said it was not a paint code. I further cared Sikken itself, they answered that it was not a paint code...

    I will attach pictures of what GD sent me. If you find out anything, please let me know.

    That is a lot better layout of the paint, but still no code numbers, so doesn't help much. I finally heard from Emily yesterday. Emily is a GD employee, as I understand it and has been very helpful to other members of the Grand Design 4 Life forum. Her response just asked if I had received an answer to my question. In answer to another forum member question on this topic, she had provided an actual formula of the paint colour. So hopefully she will be able to answer the question, but just a matter of time. I will post once I hear more.

    Correction she is an administrator or one of them for the other forum,
    Per our community policy, please do not mention the other forum. If you would like to understand why, please read this discussion: https://www.mygrandrv.com/forum/showthread.php/23897-Announcement-about-our-name-change?p=237174&viewfull=1#post237174
    FORUM. For some reason I thought she was an employee of GD but I do not know how I knew that.

    We had the same issue with our 2018 Solitude 310GK-R. I got these codes from Grand Design and had the local PPG paint dealer make me the smallest can of each that they would mix, I think they were pints or half pints. Hope this helps.

    The best small batch match will only come by way of use of a "color gun," which is a high-tech camera and computer system that analyzes the paint into a formulation. Many automotive paint distributors have a retail counter and definitely the color gun. The one I use will mix as little as 2 fl.oz. and can even put it in a rattle can. The inconvenience of dragging the trailer to one will net you a near perfect match.

    Would be awesome if GD started providing touch up kits. I've gotten them with every new truck I've bought since 1987. Be a nice touch IMO.
