Forest-River Dark Brown (JE D912801) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade provides a grounded base for the sweeping graphics found on a Forest River Motorhome. Because your rig faces constant sun and road debris, this color choice is practical. It hides dust and highway film better than a standard black or a bright silver. On a fiberglass body this large, the deep tone adds a premium feel that makes the exterior look solid and intentional rather than just another white box on wheels.

Technical Details

You are working with a deep metallic finish. These tiny flakes give the color its depth, but they can be temperamental. If you apply the paint with a heavy hand in one spot, the metallics will settle in an uneven pattern and create dark, blotchy patches. This happens because the heavy pigments sink while the lighter flakes float to the surface. To get a clean match in your garage or under some shade, you must focus on thin layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Forest-River Dark Brown (check for code JE D912801), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find this paint code on a sticker inside your kitchen cabinet doors or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to ensure the match is right. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic flakes distribute in a uniform layer. Allow for a generous drying time between coats so the paint does not sag on the vertical side panels.
