RV-Other Silver Blue (PPG 979854) (77522) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Silver Blue is the backbone of the Tiffin palette and has been a staple of their full-body paint designs for nearly two decades. If you have owned your coach for a few years, you have likely noticed how well this shade masks the dust of a long desert haul or the grime of a rainy interstate. It is a sophisticated, professional color that gives these massive rigs a sleek, premium presence. Since your Tiffin has been navigating the highways for a while, you are probably dealing with the inevitable road debris chips on the front cap or lower storage doors.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to create depth and reflect light. Metallic paints are notoriously temperamental compared to solid colors. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and cluster together, creating dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. If you stand too far away, the finish can end up looking dry or textured. The goal is a balanced application that allows those flakes to lay down in an even, shimmering blanket that catches the sun without looking striped.

Best Practices

You can usually find your specific paint details on a spec sheet located inside a kitchen cabinet door, in the bedroom closet, or occasionally on the driver-side door jamb. Before you spray or dab RV-Other Silver Blue (PPG 979854) (check for code 77522), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those settled metallic particles. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle. When you move to the coach, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in the shade to ensure the drying time remains consistent, and apply light layers until the chip is filled.
