2000 Coachmen-RV Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Coachmen-RV Vibe

The year 2000 was the dawn of the "New Millennium," and Coachmen was busy pumping out classics like the Santara and the Leprechaun for families who wanted to see the Y2K bug from the safety of a campground. While the world was worried about computers exploding, Coachmen was leaning into the era's favorite palette: sophisticated grays and that ever-present "millennium" glow. Our database focuses on the true survivors of this era, featuring the heavy hitters like Black and the quintessentially 2000s Light Antelope Beige Metallic. It was a time when "champagne" was a personality trait, and your RV was basically a high-end beige condo on wheels.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of The Peeling Era. By 2000, the industry had fully committed to the basecoat/clearcoat system. It looked deep and glossy on the showroom floor, but twenty years of UV rays have a way of turning that "deep shine" into a "flaky mess." On these Coachmen models, you'll likely see the clear coat starting to delaminate-especially on the front caps, roof rails, and upper edges where the sun beats down without mercy. If your paint looks like it has a bad sunburn and is flaking off in translucent sheets, you've got clear coat failure. Once that top layer lifts, the base color underneath is defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your best friend is early intervention. If you see a rock chip or a small "bubble" in the clear, you need to seal it immediately before the air gets underneath and starts the delamination chain reaction. If you're already seeing peeling edges, don't just paint over them-you have to lightly wet-sand the "shelf" where the clear coat meets the bare basecoat to feather the edge. If you don't, your new paint will just sit on top of a failing foundation and lift off within a season. Seal those chips today, or you'll be stripping the whole panel tomorrow.
