Itasca Dark Neutral (DM358K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Used across decades of motorhomes, this shade is a veteran of the open road. It serves as a grounded, sophisticated anchor for exterior graphics and valance panels, doing the heavy lifting of hiding road grime that would highlight every speck on a lighter coach. Because it has been a staple from the late nineties through 2026, it gives your vehicle a timeless, professional feel. It is the kind of color that doesn't scream for attention but makes the entire rig look more expensive and well-maintained.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it is packed with tiny flakes designed to provide depth and a subtle shimmer under the sun. Dark metallics are notorious for showing their personality; if you aren't careful with your technique, the metal particles can "mottle" or bunch up, creating dark, blotchy patches. Your goal is to achieve an even distribution so the light hits the repair exactly the same way it hits the rest of the panel. Since your motorhome has likely lived outside for a few seasons, matching the existing luster requires patience and light layers.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Itasca Dark Neutral (check for code DM358K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will typically find your color information on the Motor Home Component Information Sheet located inside your wardrobe closet or on a placard near the driver's door frame. Metallic paints settle quickly, so that 60-second shake is the only way to ensure the flakes aren't sitting at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card first to confirm the match. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddles and give it plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish stabilize.
