Winnebago White Tricoat (CDI-64003-5) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a premium pearl finish that elevated 2007 and 2008 Winnebago motorhomes far above the standard utility white found on basic campers. Because it was used across all models during those years, your coach has a luminous, multidimensional quality that catches the sun and creates a deep glow. It does a better job of hiding minor road dust than a flat white, but it is much more sensitive to how you apply it. Since your Winnebago has likely been on the road for over fifteen years, the original finish has probably matured, so you will want to pay close attention to the depth of the pearl as you work to ensure a good match.

Technical Details

This is a tricoat, which means the final look depends on layering a semi-transparent pearl over a solid base. If you apply the pearl layer too heavily, the color can shift toward a yellow or gray tint, which makes the repair stand out. Because you are dealing with a pearl rather than a metallic, the finish is prone to looking uneven if the thickness varies across the repair area. Consistency is your goal here; you want to build up the color in light passes rather than one thick application to ensure the light reflects correctly off the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Winnebago White Tricoat (check for code CDI-64003-5), you must shake the container for at least a full minute to get the pearl particles moving. You can usually find your specific paint details on the build sheet inside your wardrobe cabinet or kitchen cupboard, or tucked inside your motorhome InfoCase. Test the color on the included card to determine how many coats of pearl you need to match your specific coach. When you are ready to begin, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging. Work in the shade or your garage to give the layers enough drying time to set before you move on to the final protective topcoat.
