2011 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (53 OEM Colors)

The 2011 Fleetwood Vibe

2011 was the year Fleetwood decided your motorhome should look less like a utility box and more like a high-end espresso bar. We're talking about the era of the "Earth Tone Empire." With 53 colors in our database for this year, it's clear the designers were obsessed with anything that shimmered in the desert sun. Whether you're piloting a Discovery or a Bounder, you're likely wrapped in sophisticated shades like Bodega Beige Metallic, Mocha Anthracite, or the ever-popular Champagne Pearl. It was a time when "Luxury" meant metallic flakes so thick you could almost see your reflection in the Bordeaux Red Metallic side panels-provided the sun hadn't cooked them yet.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2011, factory robots had become masters of efficiency, which is a polite way of saying they applied the bare minimum amount of clear coat to get the rig off the lot. On a massive Fleetwood motorhome, those expansive flat sides and front caps are basically giant solar panels for UV damage. If your Iron Gray Metallic is looking a little cloudy or your Cayenne Red is starting to lose its "pop," you're dealing with the classic "Robot Efficiency" curse. The clear coat is thin, and once it starts to micro-crack from the heat, moisture gets under the layers and begins the slow, peeling walk of death.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these modern metallics like Silver Gold Tricoat or Nimbus Gray Metallic, remember: the factory didn't "blob" it on, and neither should you. Because the original finish is so thin, a heavy-handed repair will stand out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. Apply your color in 2-3 light, misty passes rather than one thick coat. This helps the metallic flakes lay down flat and prevents that "dark spot" look where the paint pools. Patience is your best friend here-let it dry fully between hits so you don't end up with a sagging mess on a vertical surface.
