If you call Monaco tech support and give them the VIN they will give you the paint codes. They used sherwin Williams paint in those days.

Richard......The paint codes will do you non good. Those were lacquer base paints back them and they are no longer avaialble. My coach, an 05, used Sherwin Williams paint. I went to Sherewin Williams and they don't even have records of paint that's just a few years old.

Your best bet is to find a removable piece that has your colors in it. On mine, the refer door had all three of my colors on it. I took it to an automotive paint store and they used their machine to match colors. Most of these type of stores will even put it into a spray can for you.

Yep! Definitely the quickest and easiest way to match your paint, and you will probably get a BETTER match that way even on paint that is still available because your paint has faded a bit.

Paint codes are not necessary ...... I am automotive painter by trade for the last 27 years and deal with cars with no paint codes..... There are several ways to handle this 1...Almost all automotive paint stores have a machine that takes a picture of your color off your vehicle and analyzes it and comes up with a color closest to your match it may even be from a ford Chevy Toyota dodge ETC!!! it doesn't matter as long as its close...... 2...... Also paint stores should have a color variance chip deck it will have thousands of colors to choose from and you can find the closest one..... 3.... You can also go to a body shop collision repair facility and they should also have this color deck.....
I have done a lot of spot repairs on coaches for people ......Its not hard just time consuming.....

I hope this helps
