How much paint do you need? I ordered some touch up paint for mine and it came with three small containers (one for each color). I suspect they can get you larger quantities if needed.

Call Newmar. They have the right colors in small bottles with a nice little application brush

Each coach is shipped from the factory with a set of touch-up paint. You may find it somewhere in the basement. When I tried to get one color that was missing from my set Newmar said they would not ship paint.

You probably know this but you usually only need touch up paint if you scratched through the clear coat and into the paint. Otherwise, you can reduce the scratch visibility significantly by using a scratch compound like Mcquires Ultimate.

I've also found if the scratch is deep, I can "Mcquires" most of it away, mask the area with tape and use a spray clear coat (spray can from the auto parts store). After it dries I "Mcquires" it again to blend the edges. Takes about a week for the Sun to dull the clear coat like the rest of coach.

I'm not a very good RV driver...

You can contact Newmar Parts Dept. They have a kit, that will have the exact colors for your coach. You just need to give them your Coach Serial Number. They can't ship paint, so it actually ships from the manufacturer.
