Itasca Silver (P7444) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This specific silver is a staple for a reason and appears on nearly all models in the fleet. Whether it covers the cab or the upper body of your coach, this color stays cool under the sun and hides road grime better than anything else in the lineup. It provides a clean, industrial appearance that gives the coach a modern feel without demanding a wash every time you pull out of the park. Since your coach has spent time on the road, the original finish might be more matte than your fresh touch-up due to sun exposure.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny aluminum flakes designed to catch the light. These flakes are the reason the coach looks bright from one angle and deep from another, but they are temperamental. If the paint goes on in thick puddles, those flakes bunch up and create dark, cloudy patches known as mottling. To get the flakes to lay down flat and even, you must be mindful of your layering. Thick, wet coats cause the color to shift or look striped, so thin layers are the priority to maintain a consistent flow.

Best Practices

Look for your paint info on the equipment list inside your wardrobe closet or on the label inside the driver door jamb. Before you spray or dab Itasca Silver (check for code P7444), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current level of weathering. When applying, keep the container moving and work in thin, light layers. Give each layer enough drying time in a garage or the shade so the surface isn't tacky before you move on to the next.
