1998 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The 1998 Fleetwood Vibe

If you're piloting a 1998 Fleetwood Motorhome, you aren't just driving a vehicle; you're captaining a localized era of luxury. By the late '90s, the "beige-ing" of America was in full swing, and Fleetwood was leading the charge with sophisticated, muted tones. We've focused our database on the true survivors of this era-the colors that actually defined the road. We're talking about the high-end Medium Plum Metallic accents that gave these rigs their character, and the ubiquitous Cashmere Silver and Dream White that made these land yachts look like they belonged in a high-end coastal resort rather than a gravel lot.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's get real. You're smack in the middle of "The Peeling Era." In 1998, factory paint tech was leaning hard into high-solids clear coats, but the bond between the base and the clear wasn't always a lifelong marriage. If your Fleetwood has spent its life chasing the sun in Arizona or Florida, you're likely seeing the dreaded delamination-where the clear coat starts to lift, flake, and turn into a white, crusty mess. Once that clear starts to sail away, your Iron Gray Metallic or Plum base coat is left completely naked to the UV rays, and it won't be long before the color itself starts to chalk out.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a '98 Fleetwood looking respectable is aggression. Not with the buffer, but with the touch-up brush. Because this era is prone to delamination, a single rock chip is a gateway drug for clear coat failure. Moisture gets under the edge of the clear, the wind catches it at 65 mph, and suddenly a tiny speck becomes a six-inch peel. Therefore, you must seal every chip immediately. Don't wait for the weekend. Clean the area with a solvent-based prep, dab your color, and if you're using a two-stage kit, ensure that clear coat overlaps the factory edges to lock them down before they have a chance to lift.
