Paint match

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rick Daniels:
Yes, good body shops can do a great job on color match if they have the vehicle there.  In my case I wanted touch up paint to spot paint chips and small scratches.  The coach was in storage when I started my search. I have four colors on the coach and each was in need of some touch up.  I could have taken the coach to a body shop (which in hindsight would have been less frustrating) but I tend to do things the hard way.  I have started the touch up process and yes, up close and with a critical eye one can see a very slight difference caused by age and exposure.  Stand back five feet and and it looks great. My original paint, which looks great overall, is 20 years old. 

David T. Richelderfer:
The exterior door that allows access to the rear of the refrigerator should have all the coach's exterior colors.  Ours does.  Just remove that access door and take it into the store for a color match.

Rick Daniels:
David, I didn't think about that refrigerator panel until you mentioned it.  Was kicking myself until I went outside and looked and only one color.  Now I feel better.  That would have been too easy.

Bill Lampkin:
Rick, We had our Beaver parked in front of our home when the neighbor across the street decided to mow the edge of his lawn. Once he was done, I counted over 200 small rock chips on that side of the MH. I found a guy that does touch-up work for new car dealers; Called him and he fit us in between jobs. 2 hrs and $300 later I can't even find the chips that he fixed!! Just one more way to skin the cat....

Doug Allman:
I would second Bills info about getting what they call a LOT MONKEY in our area that does some fantastic matching paint work. They even can take out some imperfections including small dents and make them disappear. This I believe is probably the least expensive and best quality to be had.
