2016 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (61 OEM Colors)

The 2016 Fleetwood Vibe

Welcome to the peak of the "Glamping" gold rush. In 2016, Fleetwood wasn't just building motorhomes; they were launching rolling luxury condos. With a staggering 61 colors in our vault for this year alone, it's clear the factory was keeping the spray booths humming 24/7. This was the era where "Mocha Frost Metallic," "Antique Bronze," and "Bordeaux Red Metallic" defined the high-end look of the American highway. Whether you were piloting a Bounder or a Discovery, the goal was clear: look like a million bucks while parked at a KOA.

Paint Health Check

We're firmly in the Thin Paint Era now, kid. Back in 2016, those factory robots were calibrated for maximum "efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying they applied the bare minimum to get a shine. While these high-solids clear coats look deep and glassy, they are notoriously brittle. If your Fleetwood has spent its life chasing the sun in Arizona or Florida, you're likely seeing "checking"-those tiny spiderweb cracks that happen when the dark pigments, like "Brilliant Black" or "Cayenne Red," soak up too much heat and stress the fiberglass underneath. And don't get me started on the front caps; if you haven't picked up a few rock chips that are threatening to delaminate, you aren't driving it enough.

Restoration Tip

Since we're dealing with the "Thin Paint" philosophy, your mantra for the repair is: Build layers slowly. These modern finishes don't take kindly to "the blob" method. When you're filling a chip in that "Silver Gold Tricoat" or "Iron Gray Metallic," apply your touch-up in thin, patient passes. Let the solvent flash off completely between coats so you don't trap any gasses. If you try to rush it and dump a heavy glob on there, it'll shrink as it cures, leaving you with a divot that sticks out worse than a flat tire. Build it up slightly higher than the surrounding clear, let it get hard as a rock, and then level it off with a high-grit wet sand. Slow and steady wins the race on a 2016 rig.
