Touch-Up Paint

[Floridakamper]

I have a few paint chips in all four colors on rig. My 06 Kountry Star gasser is the Beige Fieldstone color scheme. In a forum search I see someone indicated that at one time, Newmar sold small bottles of touch up paint and new units came with a small amount. He indicated he bought four colors Newmar for about $60. When he got them, three of the bottles indicated they were the regular automotive touch-paint like you can buy at an automotive parts store. He said one was a Jaguar color and only one was Newmar specific. I called Newmar to order my four colors and was told that because of new Homeland Security rules they can no longer ship paints so they do not even stock the small quanities anymore. Does anyone know if any of my color scheme corresponds to a stock automotive color? Or any other suggestions. I have the paint codes but having a quart of each color mixed seems overkill. Plus, original paint is color and then clearcoat. I think small bottles of touch up are acrylic enamel. Thanks Bob

A couple options for you.

1) Call Newmar back and ask for the paint color names/code. They used - for the most part - stock car colors. In 2007 they used BASF paints. Probably in 06 too.

2) Here's how to get the entire BASF Newmar color palette. Find a BASF automotive paints distributor and ask them to log onto their distributor access only color information at basfrefinish.com, select formula retrieval, then select fleet, then type in Newmar. It should give them all of the codes Newmar uses.

PM me for a BASF paint person if they have problems logging on. We peon owners can not get into this info, you must go through a distributor.

Thanks for the info. I've got the Nemar paint code info. I'll contact a BASF paint dealer when we get home in a month or so unless I find one in Fort Myers Beach area.

On my 06 DSDP, Newmar used Sherman Williams Automotive paint. There is a label on an upper cabinet door in the kitchen with the paint codes on it.

Thanks eoddewey, I just checked the cabinet doors and you're right -- my rig has Sherman Williams paint also.

I have a 2008 35J Winnebago Sightseer and would like to get some touch up paint for a scrape on two of the storage compartment doors.

Any ideas?

If You can take off the Compartment Door, a Good Paint retailer should be able to use their Computer to scan and duplicate the color!
