My recently purchased 2004 Travel Supreme 5th wheel is white with Silver painted lower body paint and silver and grey stripes. If someone has this combination can you help me with paint code or matching color? I'd sure like to be able to do some small touch up's. Thanks for any help you can give me.

There should be a paint code sticker in your 5er somewhere. I do not know the code BUT I DO KNOW that it is sherwyn-Williams paint. Maybe one of their paint dealers could help you match it. just my 2 cents. Gene

My trailer is a 2003.The paint is Sherwin Williams Automotive 5A-50783 00(B).Sparkle Silver Met.

I got the # from TS just before they all left.
Need to go to a Sherwin Williams Automotive store.
The mixed me up a half pint and I purchased a Prevchol sprayer. to touch up.They would of made me up some spray cans with it but I would of had to purchase a case(12)..Forgot the price but it was too much for me.

I could find no paint # on any of the decals on trailer.I was fortunate to get it from the factory.
That # above is off the can of paint I purchased.I will look later for the one from the factory.Will post if different.

Thanks for the tips Ann n Gene and Fuzz. I Googled Sherwin Williams and found a store about 5 miles from here. I'll head over there this week. I hope I can pick up a 1/2 pint and see if they will process one can at a time for me.

Wayne,The sprayer is called Preval.If you haven't seen one,it is a pressureized canisiter that you screw a small jar on for the paint.For touchups they work well.Of course they have to be cleaned up afterwards but that's not too big a deal.
I purchased it at the S/W automotive paint store They also have them in the Home Depot here.The local S/W store here would not do the automotive paint,had to go to a S/W automotive store.FYI.While there I picked up some paint for my truck and
used the Preval to touch up some nicks.

Wayne, I went into a S/W AUTO paint store and the lady presented me with TWO options using the same #/paint color, saying they aren't always consistent in their coloring/numbering schemes. So that was a no-go for me. I'd suggest you either call Precision Paint in Bremen (Who did your work) or take off a door/panel somewhere outside and go into an automotive paint matching shop and they can make up a color in any kind of can-pressurized or touch-up tube.

Well I got my paint. I went to the Sherwin Williams automotive paint store and gave them the number Fuzz used and they sold me a 1/2 pint. I didn't buy a sprayer yet. Will have to go to another paint store for that. I have several small chips I would like to fill. The only way I know to touch up a chip is to use a match from a book of matches. I will use the end of the match you tear out of the matchbook for that. If I'm not happy with that I will contact Precision Paint in Breman. Thanks Slabman, for that tip. If you have any other tips or tricks I would be happy to listen.

Happy as a lark Travel Supreme owner.

Wayne,I used some stuff called Glazing and Spot Putty made by Bondo.I think it purchased it at a WalMart.
I have also used some stuff called Duraglass by Dupont.There are other brands of Spot putty.Your matchstick method will work fine but on places that are pitted or chipped more like the leading edge of the fenders etc,I would fill them with Spot Putty and then spray.
BTW the paint I purchased matched perfectly..Good luck
