Touch up paint
Where do you all get your touch up paint? I know when the coaches are new you get some at delivery. Trying to buy online and can't find anything. It's all cars no Rv's

I brought the coach to a local automotive paint dealer yesterday. They used a contact camera to analyze and match the colors because they had no cross-reference for the Martin Senour paint numbers Tiffin provided. I got three of the four colors in aerosol cans with the remaining paint in partially-full, small paint cans for a bit over $100.

It's still automotive paint. You just need to get the codes for your colors. We have the touch up paints from the original owner. Although I think the codes are on the door jamb - or they are on our coach.

Most full body paint coaches come with a diagram of the coach and all the paint recipes to create the paint from auto body shop paints. Then you go to the local auto paint supply store and give them the paint codes. They'll make you a pint or a quart paint can ready to apply.
Here's a supplier in Kentucky. They have two shops one in Lexington and one in Jeffersontown so both are close to you:
https://www.kyabs.com/
If you don't have one of those charts call Tiffin to get the info.
It can be difficult to find paint online because shipping paint is problematic.

I'm sorry, should have mentioned that I have the paint codes, BASF paint, but no one seems to be able to match. Will call paint scratch and see if they can help.

My BMW has BASF paint. I used this to find a local distributor:
https://refinish.basf.us/where-to-buy/
It was cheaper than going to the dealer for the itty-bitty bottle.

Older Tiffin coaches might have been painted using Martin Senour paints, like ours. They got out of the business some time ago, and neither I nor the paint shop could find a cross-reference for their colors. That's why they had to use the camera-based color match system.

I'd give the Tiffin store a call. The ladies can look up your coach by the VIN number and the paint shop can mix some up for you. It cost me around $25.

I take a sample of the paint (gas cap cover) into a auto paint store or even Walmart and just match it to spray paint cans on the shelf. Spray some paint on to a piece of paper and use a Q tip to dap the paint on a stone chip.

This company makes RV paint matches. They are the manufacture for Newmar. A friend used them to match his 2001 Diplomat. Perfect match.
You may want to give them a call. They know RV’s
