Paint codes for touch up paint

[Sideshow]

Are the paint codes somewhere on the RV, in a cabinet or attached someplace.
Trying to get some touch up paint made.

Anyone done this, any tips?

the consensus here has been that 20-year-old paint codes have little value. The paint on our coaches has changed through years of exposure to the elements. Recommended it that you remove an outside door of 2 and let your paint guy match that. I don't have any experience with this process and will be interested on how you do this and how it turns out. Please follow up on your experience with more posts.

This company had exact touch up paint code & match for a 2005 Safari Trek:

My paint guy took my water heater frame off because it had all the colors when the detailers decided not to fasten the door back on. Paint match was very good

Bruce,
Funny you say that, I just took off the water heater cover because it has all three colors. Now to find a paint place that can match those.

Old and new rig
Took front shield off the rig and used Auto push plugs to fill bolt holes. The plugs are black 1 inch round and wanted to color match them.

The original paint was from BASF. The codes above can only be mixed from someone with BASF paints. You can go to a local auto paint store and they can shoot it with a camera, and get it pretty close with a different brand. I had that done with mine when I painted my awning arms and front bumper awhile back. Used a PPG paint. The light pewter color was really close. The dark pewter ended up being too dark. I also used a single stage urethane instead of base/clear. If you’re just covering the plugs, that would work fine for you.
