Chevrolet Motorhomes Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chevrolet didn't exactly break out the neon for their motorhome lineup. With only 3 recorded colors, they stuck to a very specific aesthetic: "Sophisticated Concrete." Whether your rig is wearing Cumulus Grey Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic, or Silver Metallic, it's clear the designers were going for a look that blends in perfectly with a low-hanging rain cloud or a sleek aircraft hangar. It's a minimalist palette, but those metallics do a great job of hiding road grime while you're chasing the horizon.
What to Watch For
Because these motorhomes have more surface area than a small apartment, the sun is your biggest rival. Keep a close eye on the front "cap" and the roof edges; that's where the clear coat tends to give up the ghost first, sometimes flaking off in thin, crispy sheets. You can handle this-just catch those spots early before they turn into a larger project. To find your specific color code, skip the door jamb and go straight to the glove box. Look for a white or silver "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code near the bottom that starts with "BC/CC U" or "WA"-that's the secret handshake you need to get the right bottle.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since all three of these colors are metallics, they're packed with tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch a single chip, shake your paint pen or bottle for a full two minutes-yes, set a timer. If those flakes aren't floating, your Silver Metallic will look like flat grey primer. When you apply the paint, use the "less is more" rule. One thick blob of metallic paint will look dark and heavy. Instead, use thin, light dabs to let the sparkles lay flat. It requires patience to get the shimmer just right, but your motorhome will thank you for the extra effort.
