Newmar Beige Metallic (53170C) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was a cornerstone of the luxury diesel pusher era. If you are driving a coach from the late 2000s, you know this shade well. It was designed to look expensive under the sun of a high-end resort while remaining practical enough to hide the dust of a thousand-mile desert crossing. Since your motorhome has been chasing horizons for over a decade, the finish has likely endured significant UV exposure and road salt. This beige is a master of disguise, masking light oxidation and road grime better than almost any other neutral in the fleet, keeping your rig looking maintained even between washes.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, part of the high-end multi-stage systems used to create a deep reflection on large fiberglass panels. Because it relies on suspended metallic flakes to create that "sparkle," it can be temperamental during a repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and bunch together, creating a dark, muddy patch known as mottling. To avoid these metallic stripes or dark spots, you must focus on thin, even applications. This allows the flakes to lay flat and catch the light correctly, ensuring the repair doesn't stand out as a dull thumbprint on your glossy sidewall.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Newmar Beige Metallic (check for code 53170C), you need to shake the container for at least two minutes to fully integrate the heavy metallic sediment. You can typically verify your color info on the build sheet located inside a kitchen cabinet door or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. Always test the color on the included card to confirm the shade match before you touch the coach. When applying, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent spray distance to ensure even flow. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers; rushing the process will trap solvents and ruin the metallic orientation.
