Forest-River Driftwood-5293 (F2753) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the champion of the "adventure neutral" palette. Since your 2017 motorhome spends its life battling highway dust and campground grime, this earth-toned shade is a strategic choice. It mimics the weathered, organic tones of river debris, making it incredibly forgiving between washes. Because your vehicle has likely faced years of sun exposure, the original finish might be slightly lighter now than when it left the factory, so a small amount of blending will go a long way.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. These flakes are heavy and like to sink to the bottom of the container. If they aren't distributed evenly, you might notice dark or light stripes in your repair. Before you spray or dab Forest-River Driftwood-5293 (check for code F2753), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up that metallic shimmer. If the flakes don't lay flat, the repair will look like a different color even if the chemistry is perfect.

Best Practices

Finding the exact label on these large vehicles is often a scavenger hunt. Check the driver's door jamb first, but if it isn't there, look inside the kitchen cabinet doors or the bedroom closet for a printed specification sheet. To ensure the flakes land in a natural pattern, keep the container moving across the surface in steady passes. Never start or stop your movement directly over the scratch. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallics settle before you touch the motorhome. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or looking muddy.
