Forest-River Brown Metallic (MM125) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a sophisticated, earth-toned finish designed for the long haul. Because your motorhome was built in 2007, this color was likely chosen to bridge the gap between rugged utility and high-end luxury. It does a fantastic job of hiding the inevitable road dust and grime that comes with cross-country travel, but when the sun hits it at the right angle, the metallic flake gives it a depth that plain solids just cannot match. Since your vehicle has been exposed to the elements for over a decade, you may notice the original finish has softened slightly, making a careful touch-up even more important for a cohesive look.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes that must be suspended evenly to look right. If you are too heavy-handed with the application, those flakes will bunch up and create dark, muddy-looking spots. Conversely, if the coat is too thin, the repair will look light or translucent. You are aiming for a balanced middle ground where the metallic particles lay flat and uniform. Before you spray or dab Forest-River Brown Metallic (check for code MM125), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure those heavy pigments aren't sitting at the bottom of the container.

Best Practices

Finding your color documentation on a coach can be a hunt; usually, you will find the identification sticker on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door or occasionally on the door jamb near the driver's seat. Before you begin the actual repair in your garage or a patch of shade, always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flake reacts to your technique. When applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid pooling. Work in thin, light layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one go. Give the area enough drying time between layers so the paint can set properly, ensuring the flakes stay exactly where you want them for a professional finish.
