Interesting...heard they were out for 2015, and they are inconsistent with the new patterns.

What do you mean by "inconsistent with the new patterns"?

DSL417 · 01-26-2014, 10:39 AM

The new patterns have a "camouflage" type of print in the interior of one of the swirls. Don't know how else to describe the pattern.

I saw that and think it is really cool. Wish we could get an option like it on the Anthem.

Here are the pictures that KKRONOWITZ was trying to post. A suggestion when viewing these, try tilting your computer screen so there's no reflection. I thought all of these color schemes had a lot of black until I tilted my screen and realized that the Cayenne and Champagne schemes did not.

Yes, It is actually similar to "sponge painting".

Anyone have similar pics of new Anthem colors?

I posted the 2015 colors for both the cornerstone and the antem a few days ago. Its "2015 colors". This is a duplicate thread.

On Entegra's website it shows any of the "Opulence" paint formats are $2,250.00 higher. What difference is the Opulence colors or effect?

For what it is worth, the pictures do not show the 10" Stainless bottoms from Summit Products. They curve under and are beveled 5 degrees at the top. They add to the look very well.

Adding my two cents in here as we were in FL at the end of December to meet with Millennium Coach and Liberty Coach.

If this "camouflage" paint scheme is similar to what Millennium uses it doesn't wear well AT ALL after just a few years. Millennium stores many customer coaches at its facility and as we looked at their new builds we walked by many that had this "look" of paint scheme.

Assuming this is similar to Millennium, before purchasing this scheme, I'd really look into this to understand how this is different vs what Millennium did/does. Mind you, we really liked Millennium but were adamant that we'd not have any of that on our coach based on the way it looked 2-3 yrs down the road. Think… really, really bad faux paint.

Having said that, if this is similar to what Liberty is doing…well that was 100% different and I'd buy that paint job without question. But those two processes could not be more different.

Liberty's "ghost painting" effects (whether you like that or not) was completely different from the bad faux painting that is on some Millennium's. Not starting a brand war, just explaining there are significant differences regarding the paint process and how this could impact Entegra.

Again, I'm simply speaking to how the respective paint held up and looked after a few years. I know we're just talking paint here…but this would be of SIGNIFICANT concern for me personally based on what we witnessed.

Well, what I saw at Tampa with the new color on display was certainly under the same number of clear coats as the previous years, so I'd not draw any conclusions from what I said...it is a pattern inside one of the swirls. Some will like, some maybe not...I lean towards the latter, but that said, the new colors were striking.

The thing I see changed, and seems to be changed in the Anthem colors also offered up in a separate thread suggest some of the glitter is being removed (e.g the radiant copper). As I'm relatively sure that the undercoat of the current colors have some type of "glitter" in them to achieve the current color schemes in the Anthem and Cornerstone (I know this because I had a couple of warrantee areas that had to be repainted where the glitter showed through the main maroon of the midnight illusion color).
