2023 Coachmen-RV Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2023 Coachmen-RV Vibe

By 2023, the days of wild, 90s-style "swoosh" graphics were mostly traded in for a more sophisticated, automotive look across the Coachmen lineup-from the luxurious Sportscoach down to the nimble Galleria. The vibe was all about stealth wealth and earth tones that wouldn't look out of place at a high-end marina. We've focused our attention on the real survivors of the lot, specifically the depth-defying Black and the trend-setting Light Antelope Beige Metallic. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that your rig was a machine, not a rolling canvas for a finger-painter.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. In 2023, Coachmen rigs were being rolled through paint booths where "efficiency" was the word of the day. Modern factory finishes are applied by robots with the precision of a surgeon, meaning you get a beautiful, high-gloss clear coat that is-quite frankly-as thin as a whisper. While this tech gives you that mirror-like finish on the showroom floor, it leaves very little "meat" on the bone for the real world. A single gravel strike on the I-95 can punch right through that micron-thin clear coat and into the base color. Because the robots are so stingy with the spray, you're at high risk for "road rash" and micro-chipping that can eventually lead to delamination if those wounds are left open to the sun and salt.

Restoration Tip

When repairing a 2023 finish, you have to respect the Robot Efficiency. Since the factory coat is so thin, you can't just glob on a thick bead of touch-up paint and hope for the best-you'll end up with a high spot that looks like a zit on a prom queen. Instead, build your layers slowly. Apply a tiny amount of color, let it flash off, and repeat until you've just barely filled the crater. If you try to sand these modern finishes back with heavy-duty grit, you'll burn through the surrounding clear coat before you even level the repair. Think like the robot: thin, steady, and patient.
