Winnebago Key Gray (951798) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Winnebago moved toward a more sophisticated, automotive aesthetic in 2021, and this color is the backbone of that shift. Unlike the dated beige and tan tones of the past, this is a clean, modern neutral that provides a high-end backdrop for your motorhome. It has the same industrial-chic vibe you see on modern performance cars, which makes even a large coach look agile and current. Because it is a solid color rather than a shimmer-heavy metallic, it hides road dust and highway grime far better than darker shades, though it will show water spots if you leave it to dry in the sun after a wash.

Technical Details

Since this is a solid finish, you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling or looking blotchy. The challenge with a solid gray like this is that it can look heavy or "puddled" if you apply too much at once. Without the distraction of metallic sparkle, your eye will catch every drip or high spot in the finish. You want to focus on thin, even layers to build up the depth. This color is remarkably stable, but it relies on a clean surface to lay flat and mirror the original factory finish.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Winnebago Key Gray (check for code 951798), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. You can usually find your specific paint code label on the Motor Home Component Information Sheet tucked inside your Winnebago InfoCase, or on a service label located in the driver's door jamb. When you are ready to start, work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Test the color on the included card first to confirm the match. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid buildup, and allow plenty of drying time between layers. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes to keep the repair level with the surrounding area.
