Fleetwood Dark Toupe (K9861) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome has likely logged thousands of miles since 1998, and this color is the reason those lower panels still look respectable. This shade is a heavy-duty, grounded neutral that was popular on Fleetwood coaches for its ability to mask road grime and dust during long hauls. It provides a sophisticated anchor for the lighter body colors and graphic "swooshes" typical of that era. Since your coach has been out in the elements for over twenty years, the original pigment has likely softened from its factory depth, but it remains a classic choice that keeps a large rig from looking like a plain white box.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your life much easier when you are working in your garage or the shade. Because there are no metallic flakes to settle or "mottle" into dark streaks, you can focus entirely on the level of the repair rather than the angle of the light. The main challenge with a deep earth tone like this is the potential for a slight halo effect if the repair is too thick. Solids are unforgiving when it comes to height, so you want to build the color gradually to ensure the new paint sits flush with the original surface.

Best Practices

Locating your paint data on a Fleetwood can feel like a scavenger hunt, but you should find it on a build sheet inside a kitchen cabinet or tucked away on the driver-side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Dark Toupe (check for code K9861), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to see how well it matches your current level of sun-fade. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving and focus on thin, even layers. Give the repair plenty of drying time between applications to avoid any sagging or texture issues.
