I can't seem to find the paint code anywhere on my rig. Two stickers beside the driver's seat....nope. Thought there might be a build sheet stuck behind a cabinet door like in all my past TTs...nope. Website seems to be no help. I need the green code....just want to get some touch-up paint. (here's a pic if that helps...LOL)

Dave,

Look under the driver's seat for a tag. Good luck.

My local auto paint shop said that I would end up with a better paint match if I just brought in a panel with that paint color so they would computer scan it and have a perfect match. I took the water heater panel in to them and ended up with a spray can of paint with a perfect match. Don't forget to top coat the paint with a clear coat.
(Never mind why I needed it).

Hahaha....bit of an oops?

Thanks for the tips. I will check under the seat and if no go...I'll take off the fridge panel or furnace panel and get a match-up.

I'll tell ya why I need it: when I brought the rig back from Colorado about a month ago, I hit huge wind outside of Denver that tore the slide topper on the drivers side. We gave it the "Red Green" treatment (duct tape) to get 'er home. As soon as I got home I gently pulled all the tape off, but it pealed the green off of the trim between the roof and the side panel. It's not super noticeable...but the rig looks pretty good and I want to keep it that way.

HMXDave.....Monaco used a laquer base paint to paint your coach. Most states in the U.S. are no longer allowing laquer base paints. Monaco used Sherwin Williams paint and I tried to locate touch up paint. I had the numbers, but Sherwin Williams could only identify two of the three colors. It became pointless. Finally, I took my refer door to an automotive paint shop and had all three colors computer matched. It was much cheaper and faster.

Why not give Monaco a call. I did for my 2008 Cayman and they sent me not only the color code but all the individual colors/qty to mix your own. The paint on my rig is made by Diamont
