Newmar Cajun Spice Obsidian (56680) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your motorhome belongs to an era of high-end travel where presence was everything. This color provides the deep, grounded weight that makes a massive luxury coach look balanced on the road. It is not a simple black; it carries a warmth that reflects its namesake, acting as a sophisticated anchor for the lighter champagne and gold tones often found in Newmar graphics packages. Since your coach has likely spent years under the sun, the finish has aged alongside the memories you have made, making a proper touch-up essential for maintaining that factory-line dignity.

Technical Details

This finish is a complex metallic pearl, which means it relies on microscopic iridescent flakes to catch the light. These particles are sensitive to how you apply them. If you dab or spray too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and the color will appear much darker than the rest of the panel. Because this is a dark, pigment-rich color, any inconsistency in the flake distribution will show up as a smudge or a shadow. You are dealing with a high-solids formula that requires patience to mimic the depth of the original factory finish.

Best Practices

Finding your specific paint data is usually as simple as opening the kitchen cabinet or looking inside the wardrobe closet for the manufacturer build sheet. Before you spray or dab Newmar Cajun Spice Obsidian (check for code 56680), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy metallic pigments are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card before moving to the coach so you can see how the light hits the metallic grain. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and work in the shade so the surface stays cool. Give the area plenty of drying time between light coats to build up the depth without creating a textured edge.
