Newmar Labrador Black (M6936K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color anchored the presence of some of the most respected motorhomes on the road during the early 2010s. Whether it is accenting the sleek lines of a Ventana or framing the massive profile of a Dutch Star, this black is about gravity and prestige. It provides the deep, void-like contrast that makes the lighter silver and cream graphics of that era really stand out. Since your coach has likely spent over a decade facing highway debris and intense sun, this black might have lost a bit of its original depth, but a careful touch-up can restore that crisp, factory-fresh silhouette.

Technical Details

While it appears as a standard dark tone from a distance, this is actually a pearl finish. Before you spray or dab Newmar Labrador Black (check for code M6936K), you should know that the depth comes from tiny reflective particles suspended in the pigment. This creates a challenge for repairs because the orientation of those particles changes based on how thick the paint is applied. If you put it on too heavy, the repair will look darker and flatter than the surrounding panel. If you go too light, it may look gray. The benefit of this pearl nature is that it helps hide minor surface imperfections better than a plain solid black would on such a large fiberglass surface.

Best Practices

You can usually find your specific paint map on a printed sheet inside a kitchen cabinet door or on the wall of the bedroom wardrobe. To get an accurate match, you must shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure the pearl particles are fully distributed. Always work in the shade and make sure the panel is cool to the touch before you begin. Test the color on the included card to see how the light hits it before you apply it to the coach. When you are ready, keep the container moving and focus on thin, even layers. If you are using a brush or pen, let the paint settle for a short drying time between coats rather than trying to fill a chip with one heavy blob.
