2019 Coachmen-RV Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Coachmen-RV Vibe

Welcome to 2019-the year where RVing started looking more like a luxury yacht club than a weekend at the lake. Whether you were piloting a top-tier Mirada or the ever-reliable Leprechaun, the aesthetic was all about that high-end, "Full Body Paint" flex. The palette shifted away from the boring "white box" look and into a more sophisticated, grounded reality. We've focused on the survivors of this era, the ones that really popped under the showroom LEDs: Black, Light Antelope Beige Metallic, and that deep Maroon. It was a time when the beige wasn't just "tan"-it had a metallic flake that made the sun work for its living, and the Maroon gave these rigs a weight and presence that felt more like a custom coach than a production line unit.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Thin Paint Era, my friends. By 2019, the manufacturers had "Robot Efficiency" down to a science. Those robotic arms in the factory apply paint with more precision than any human, but they're also programmed to use as little product as possible to keep the accountants happy. The result? A clear coat that looks like glass on day one but has about as much depth as a puddle in a drought. You're likely seeing the first signs of trouble on the front caps and roof edges-micro-chips from road debris that go straight through to the substrate, and UV-induced "checking" where the clear starts to look a bit brittle. The clear coat isn't failing because it's bad; it's failing because there's just not enough of it to fight the sun for a decade.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2019 rig, you have to respect the robot. Because these factory finishes are so thin, a heavy "blob" of touch-up paint will stand out like a sore thumb and likely won't level out properly. The secret is to build your layers slowly. Think of it like a professional spray job-do several thin, translucent passes rather than trying to fill the chip in one go. Let each layer dry until it's tacky before adding the next. This prevents the solvent from getting trapped and ensures the repair sits flush with that razor-thin factory clear. And for the love of the craft, don't over-buff; you've only got a few microns of clear to play with before you're looking at bare primer.
