Fleetwood Mendocino Grey (CV-67140) (745509K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defined an era of luxury for the Fleetwood Motorhome. It is a sophisticated metallic grey that acts like a chameleon, picking up the warm tones of a desert sunset or the cool light of a forest campsite. Since your coach has likely spent years under the sun, you will notice this shade is designed to hide road grime and dust far better than a standard white or black finish. It provides a sleek, high-end appearance that makes a massive vehicle feel modern rather than boxy.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes that create that signature shimmer. These flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you don't get them suspended properly, the color will look like a flat, dull grey instead of a metallic match. Metallics are also prone to mottling, which looks like dark spots or stripes. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily, causing the flakes to clump together. To avoid this, you must focus on thin, light layers to let the particles lay down evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint identification plate on the interior of the wardrobe closet door, near the driver's side console, or along the entry door frame. Before you spray or dab Fleetwood Mendocino Grey (CV-67140) (check for code 745509K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully mix those metallic flakes. Always test the color on the included card first to ensure the shade matches your weathered exterior. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving at all times to maintain a consistent flow. Work in the shade to prevent the sun from forcing a fast drying time, which can lead to a gritty, uneven texture.
