RV-Other Med Red (WA 946 L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your 2014 Thor motorhome is a rolling landmark, and this specific shade of red was chosen to make that massive profile look more like a luxury coach and less like a standard transport vehicle. It is a deep, sophisticated hue that carries a lot of presence on the road. Because it was used primarily on larger models like the Four Winds or Challenger, this color is designed to look rich even under the harsh glare of a highway sun. It does a fair job of hiding the light dust from a long haul, but once you get it under some shade and clean it up, the depth of the color really shows why it was a premium choice for that model year.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch and reflect light. Metallic colors offer great depth, but they are more sensitive to how they are applied compared to a simple solid red. The flakes have a habit of settling at the bottom of the container, so if they aren't properly mixed, your repair might end up looking like a flat, dark smudge instead of a matching finish. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Med Red (check for code WA 946 L), you must shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure those particles are evenly distributed.

Best Practices

You can typically find your specific paint information on the federal weight and specification sticker located in the driver-side compartment or tucked away on a data sheet inside a wardrobe closet door. When you are ready to begin, move your RV into a garage or a well-lit shade to keep the surface temperature cool. Test the color on the included card to verify the match and get a feel for the flow before touching the actual vehicle. Whether you are using a nozzle, brush, or pen, you must keep the container moving to prevent the metallic flakes from clustering. Apply the paint in thin, light layers and allow for plenty of drying time between passes to build the color up gradually for the best results.
