1999 Coachmen-RV Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Coachmen-RV Vibe

Ah, 1999. While the rest of the world was hoarding canned beans and worrying about Y2K crashing their desktops, Coachmen was busy churning out some of the most iconic "land yachts" to ever grace a KOA campsite. Whether you were piloting a Class A Mirada or a Class C Leprechaun, the late 90s look was all about looking expensive without being flashy. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era, specifically the heavy hitters like Light Antelope Beige Metallic-the gold standard of 90s luxury-and a Black so deep it looks like the night sky over the Mojave.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Peeling Era. By 1999, the industry had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system, which gave these rigs a showroom shine that looked a mile deep. BUT, twenty-five years of bake-and-freeze cycles have likely taken their toll. The biggest threat to your Coachmen isn't the engine-it's delamination. This is the era where clear coats decide they'd rather be a snowflake than a protective barrier, especially on the front cap and roof edges. If your beige metallic is starting to look like a bad sunburn with white, flaky edges, you're witnessing the clear coat giving up the ghost.

Restoration Tip

If you see a chip or the slightest sign of the clear lifting, do not wait for "camping season" to fix it. Once air and moisture get under that clear layer, it'll peel faster than an orange. Use a fine-grit wet sandpaper (around 1500) to gently scuff the "ledge" where the good clear meets the failure point. This levels the field and stops the peeling in its tracks. When you apply your touch-up, you aren't just adding color-you're sealing the perimeter of a battlefield. Build your layers slowly and seal those edges immediately before the sun finishes what it started.
