Forest-River Beige (N8665) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome is a rolling testament to the open road, and this shade was chosen to keep it looking clean across hundreds of miles. This specific beige was a practical staple for the 2018 model year because it strikes a balance between a professional fleet look and the warmth of a modern home. It does a fantastic job of hiding road dust and mineral streaks that usually plague darker finishes. Since your motorhome has likely seen its fair share of highways and campgrounds, you will find that this color blends well with the natural environment while maintaining a tidy, well-kept appearance even between washes.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for a DIY repair. Unlike metallic or pearl paints that rely on tiny flakes to reflect light, a solid color like this is much more forgiving when it comes to matching the depth and tone of the original panel. The primary challenge with a solid beige is that it can show "ridging" if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot. If you dab or spray too much at once, the edges of the repair will be higher than the surrounding surface, creating a visible outline. To avoid this, keep your layers thin and focus on building the color gradually so the repair sits flat against the fiberglass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Forest-River Beige (check for code N8665), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are fully mixed. You can typically find your paint data on a factory sticker located inside the entry door frame or on the back of a kitchen cabinet door near the sink. Once you have located your code and moved the vehicle into the shade, test the color on the included card to confirm the match. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow and prevent the paint from pooling or running down the side of the coach.
