Newmar Bright Platinum (PPG 37945) (62500) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your motorhome has likely covered thousands of miles through varying weather, you already know that silver is the ultimate camouflage for road dust. This color is a staple of the Newmar lineup because it balances a high-end, technical feel with the rugged reality of life on the highway. It provides a crisp, machined appearance that defines the sweeping graphics on your coach. Because it reflects so much light, it helps keep the exterior surface temperature lower during long summer stays at the campground while making the vehicle look modern even a decade after it left the factory.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny flakes that must lay at the correct angle to reflect light properly. Silver is notoriously sensitive. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will sink and cluster, creating dark, blotchy areas known as mottling. To avoid these "tiger stripes" or dark patches, you must ensure the layers stay thin. Before you spray or dab Newmar Bright Platinum (PPG 37945) (check for code 62500), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to fully suspend those heavy metal flakes.

Best Practices

Finding your specific paint sheet is the first step. Newmar usually hides the color ID tag inside a kitchen cabinet door or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. Once you have the right spot, clean the area with soap and water followed by a wax remover. Test the color on the included card before you touch the coach to ensure the metallic density matches your current finish. When applying, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent distance from the surface to ensure the "flow" remains even. Allow ample drying time between light coats rather than trying to hide the scratch in one heavy pass. Work in the shade to prevent the sun from drying the paint before the flakes have a chance to settle.
