Winnebago Carbon Bronze Metallic (861539) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Winnebago has likely traveled through its fair share of dust and highway debris, you have probably noticed how well this color handles the road. It is a sophisticated, grounded tone that sits right between a deep charcoal and a warm earth brown. This shade works well across the entire lineup because it makes a massive coach look sleek rather than bulky. It hides road film and light salt spray better than basic white or black, which is a major win for anyone who prefers driving to washing. Because it has been in the catalog since 2013, it has become a staple for owners who want a modern look that stays relevant as the miles add up.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes designed to catch the sun. These flakes provide depth, but they also make the repair a bit more technical than a solid color. If the flakes clump together or sink too deep into the paint film, the touch-up will look darker or blotchy. This effect, often called mottling, happens if the paint is applied too thick in a single pass. You want to build the color in thin layers so the metallic particles can distribute themselves evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

You will typically find your paint data plate on the driver's door pillar or printed on the service identification label inside a wardrobe cabinet door. Before you spray or dab Winnebago Carbon Bronze Metallic (check for code 861539), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable with metallics because the flakes settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the bronze transition matches your coach under natural light. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the finish remains uniform. Let each layer have plenty of drying time so the paint sets flat without runs or heavy spots.
