2018 Coachmen-RV Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2018 Coachmen-RV Vibe

Welcome to 2018-the peak of the "glamping" revolution. Whether you were piloting a Leprechaun through the Rockies or leveling an Apex Ultra-Lite at a coastal park, the look of the year was sophisticated, neutral, and strictly professional. We've focused on the shades that defined the era's luxury aesthetic: the deep, authoritative Black and the desert-shimmering Light Antelope Beige Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that you'd graduated from the "white box" campers of the past into something with a bit more curb appeal.

Paint Health Check

Being part of the Thin Paint Era, your 2018 Coachmen was born in the age of "Robot Efficiency." Back at the factory, those automated arms were programmed to spray just enough to look perfect under the showroom lights, but not a micron more. While this gives you a beautiful, high-gloss finish, it means your clear coat is likely thinner than a camper's excuses for a bad backing-in job. By now, the front caps of these 2018 units are starting to show the "peppered" look from road debris, and if you haven't been religious with the UV sealant, those roof radii and end caps might be flirting with clear coat delamination.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing chips on a 2018 finish, remember: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Modern factory paint is laid down in incredibly thin, precise increments. If you try to fill a rock chip on your Freelander or Catalina with one giant drop of paint, it's going to stand out like a sore thumb. Instead, use a fine-tip applicator to apply several "whisper-thin" layers, letting them dry in between. This mimics the factory depth and ensures the metallic flakes in a color like Light Antelope Beige lay down correctly rather than drowning in a pool of solvent. Finish with a steady hand on the clear coat to seal the deal.
