Title: Touchup Paint Source
Post by: MarcRodstein on March 08, 2012, 09:02:00 PM: I would like to get some touch-up paint to match my 2003 Monterey. Years ago I was at a paint store in Bend that had all the Beaver paint colors. Can anybody give me their contact info?

I was lucky that the PO of my coach left me a set of that correspond to common automobile colors.

Post by: MarcRodstein on March 09, 2012, 05:52:32 PM: The paint codes that are on my build sheet are non-standard and the local paint guys can't use them. That's why I wanted to contact a Bend paint supplier who can work with Beaver's codes. I visited a paint company in Bend in 2003 who knew all of Beaver's colors. I don't have their contact info, nor do i know if they are even still in business. I'll try BCS.

Batches of paint from the paint codes you mention can have slight color variations and why you see labor on estimates for "blending" repanted areas.

Post by: MarcRodstein on March 09, 2012, 10:09:23 PM: I can't get all of the colors scanned as there is one color that does not appear on any part that can come off the coach. In addition I can live with a close but not perfect match, as I only want it to touch up stone chips.

Post by: Joel Weiss on March 09, 2012, 11:55:16 PM: I brought my coach to a paint shop and they brought their analyzer out to it. The problem I ran into was that they were unable to match the heavily metallic gold that is the base paint on my coach. Essentially their color pallet couldn't match the color.
