Newmar Deep Wedgwood Blue Metallic (52950) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a regal, sophisticated blue that has anchored Newmar's high-end diesel pushers for two decades. It isn't a loud or bright shade; it has a deep, oceanic quality that gives your coach a heavy, expensive presence on the road. Because your motorhome has likely seen years of sun from Florida to Arizona, the original finish might be slightly more muted than it was on the showroom floor. This deep blue is excellent at hiding road film and dust from the campsite, but it will show every swirl mark if you are not careful during your final cleaning.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on thousands of tiny suspended flakes to create that signature depth. These flakes are a double-edged sword. When they lay flat, the color glows, but if they clump together or sink, you will end up with dark, muddy patches known as mottling. It is much more sensitive to application than a solid white or tan. You must ensure those flakes are evenly distributed to get a repair that disappears when the sun hits the side of your coach.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint information on the build sheet glued inside a kitchen cabinet door or the wardrobe. If it isn't there, check the door frame near the driver's seat. Before you spray or dab Newmar Deep Wedgwood Blue Metallic (check for code 52950), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you take the nozzle or brush to the coach. Keep the container moving to avoid puddles, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers so you don't disturb the metallic particles you just laid down.
