Winnebago Black Mist Metallic (871096K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Winnebago used this deep, dark finish to give their coaches a premium edge between 2011 and 2013. On a vehicle as large as yours, a standard solid black can look flat or show every speck of road grime, but this metallic variant adds enough dimension to hide the miles. It provides a heavy, sophisticated backdrop that anchors the lighter graphics found on most motorhomes from this era. Since your coach has been weathering the elements for over a decade, you will likely notice that the sun has softened the original depth of the black, making a careful touch-up the only way to restore that cohesive factory appearance.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to reflect light from different angles. This depth is a major benefit for hiding small imperfections, but it also makes the repair more technical than a solid color. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those metallic flakes can cluster together and create dark patches or stripes. To avoid this, focus on even coverage rather than trying to hide the scratch in a single pass. A uniform distribution of the flake is what ensures your repair disappears when the sun hits the side of the coach.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Winnebago Black Mist Metallic (check for code 871096K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend the metallic particles. You can usually find this paint code on the certification label located in the driver's door area, often on the door pillar or the wall next to the seat. If the label is missing, check the Motor Home Component Information Sheet inside your black InfoCase. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density matches your current finish. Work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast, and keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow. If you are using a pen or brush, use light layers to build the color slowly.
