Paint codes and suppliers have been somewhat of a challenge for years. I just bought two colors from the supplier shown in the pictures. They are a perfect match.
I used a cheap < 10 paint gun from HF. They are on sale all the time and work great.
For the small areas just below the cap on the rear I used a $20 air brush from HF. It came with several bottles and is easy to clean up or just toss the bottles.
I did not spend the hours needed to blend it perfectly but from the ground it looks great and is no longer blistered.
The clear comes in a spray can. It takes a long time for it to harden here in Florida so don't go at it with polish for several days. Of course in the Sacramento Valley you could probably polish it in a few hours.
To prep, I used 600 grit sandpaper wet on the area that was needing minor touch up. The large area on the top of the back cap needed my random orbital and some heavier grit to get it cleaned up. Again, I did not finish it to show room perfection but it looks great versus the bubbled and cracked surface it was.
I built and painted my airplane and it took 4.5 months of hard work to get an award winning finish. Sometimes it'l do is enough as an old friend used to say.

Just for info and furthur to discussion, I needed the paint codes for my 06 Camelot, contacted Monaco gave them my serial number and they provided me with the paint codes for that unit. The body shop then was able to match up. Have a good day!!!

I went a different route on mine, the fridge access panel just happens to have all 3 coach colors on it. So I took the panel off and went to an Oreillys place that does paint. They used a camera matching system and mixed me up some. Worked great for doing my roof caps. They put some in touch up bottles too and it matches perfect on the rock chips.
went to the coach today and found my paint code sheet. This is what was used twice to perfectly match the paint on my coach. Tony49 mentioned Industrial Finishes and I notice that is what is listed on my sheet as well.

I've been worrying that once I get the right codes, they probably won't be exact anymore since the coach is 11 years old and in the Fl sun most of the time Just looked at the frig door, and I also have all 3 colors on it.
I had some "computer matched" but it did not come back exact. The shop I bought from actually sends out a tech to the shops they serve and match it that way. I guess they can then make tiny changes.
I'm not saying you won't get a match but looking at a pint of the dark metallic it is amazing how much of the metallic I can see with my eyes.
