Matching Paint

[jimheise]

I have a 2003 Bounder 37' motorhome with the paint number I need is DAU-27323. I need help on where to either find or match this original paint color.

Hi Jim,

Stands for PPG Deltron Acrylic Urethane.
Call Fleetwood for more info 800-322-8216 and have your FIN#

Yes, call Fleetwood. That's what I did, they told me the paint was made by DuPont and gave me the number in which to contact them. Then I went to a DuPont paint dealer with my paint numbers and he made me four mini jars of perfectly matched paint.

FYI...they (duPont, PPG or Sherwin Williams) can also put the paint in a shaky can for you.

Many auto parts houses have computerized paint matching equipment if you can give them a sample piece of metal, plastic, etc. in the color you want. I'm not sure if they have portable equipment that they can take out to your RV and do the match or not. I had O'Reilly's Auto Parts do a match from a damaged piece of metal off the side of my 5er. They matched the color perfectly and I had a local body shop paint the new pieces of metal and plastic for me. I saved $1100 on what a local RV dealer quoted me to do the repairs!
