Itasca Light Autumn Metallic (373P-P806808) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents a specific era of luxury travel. Used exclusively in 2012 across the lineup, it serves as a sophisticated middle ground between a classic gold and a deep bronze. It was designed to look as good under the desert sun as it does in the shade of a mountain campsite. Because your coach has likely spent over a decade on the road, you might notice the original finish has a warm, earthy glow that hides road dust better than almost any other color from that year. It is a mature choice that prioritizes elegance over the high-contrast graphics found on newer rigs.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that reflect light at different angles. This provides depth, but it also creates a challenge for a repair. If you apply the paint too heavy in one spot, those flakes will sink and cluster, creating dark patches or "tiger stripes" that ruin the uniform look. To get the right finish, you need to maintain a consistent spray distance and keep the container moving. Layering is your friend here; multiple light passes will help the metallic particles lay flat and shimmer the way they did when the coach first left the factory.

Best Practices

Locating your paint information on a motorhome can be a hunt, but you should find it on the Component Information Sheet inside your owner's InfoCase or on a placard tucked under the hood. Before you spray or dab Itasca Light Autumn Metallic (check for code 373P-P806808), you need to shake the container for a full minute to stir up those heavy metallic sediments. Test the color on the included card to make sure the pigment matches your current exterior, as sun exposure can alter these tones over time. Apply the paint in thin layers in a protected garage or under a shade, allowing plenty of drying time between each pass to prevent sags or runs.
