2007 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (71 OEM Colors)

The 2007 Fleetwood Vibe

Welcome to the era of the rolling McMansion. In 2007, Fleetwood wasn't just building motorhomes; they were building mobile zip codes. This was the peak of "Retiree Gold"-a time when if it wasn't metallic, beige, or silver, it didn't belong in the RV park. With a staggering 71 colors in the catalog, it's clear the designers couldn't decide on a single shade of sand, so they gave us all of them. Whether your rig is rocking the classic Champagne Fizz, the earthy Bodega Beige Metallic, or the occasional flash of Bordeaux Red Metallic, these finishes were designed to look expensive under the glowing lights of a KOA at dusk.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: you've got a "Thin Paint Era" rig. By 2007, the factory robots were calibrated for maximum "efficiency," which is just corporate-speak for being stingy with the product. They applied these metallic pearls with surgical precision-just thick enough to look deep, but thin enough to start sweating after a decade in the Arizona sun. If you look at the roof radius or the front cap of an Obsidian or Dark Brown Fleetwood today, you're likely seeing the early stages of clear coat failure. When that clear starts to delaminate and flake off like a bad sunburn, it's because the sun has finally cooked through those "efficient" factory microns.

Restoration Tip

Because these factory coats are thinner than a diner's coffee, you can't just go in swinging. When you're touching up those chips or scrapes, build your layers slowly and do not blob the paint. If you try to fill a deep chip in one heavy pass, especially with high-flake colors like Silver Gold Tricoat or Champagne Pearl Metallic, the metallic particles will dive to the bottom and leave you with a dark, mismatched spot. Apply two or three whisper-thin layers, letting the solvent flash off between each, to keep those flakes standing up and shining the way the robot intended.
