2020 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (66 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Fleetwood Vibe

Welcome to the era where your house had wheels and your "social distancing" was done in 40 feet of high-gloss luxury. In 2020, Fleetwood wasn't just making Motorhomes; they were rolling out mobile canvases with a staggering 66 colors in the catalog. It was a year of sophisticated earth tones and deep metallics. You'd see a coach shimmering in Bodega Beige Metallic or cutting through the campground in Cayenne Red. The vibe was "Classy Explorer," with plenty of Iron Gray Metallic and Royal Blue Metallic to make sure you looked better than the guy in the next slip. It's a diverse palette that proves they weren't afraid to get fancy with the spray gun.

Paint Health Check

We've firmly entered The Thin Paint Era. Gone are the days when a painter named Gus spent three days laying down thick, forgiving coats of enamel. By 2020, "Robot Efficiency" became the law of the land. These coaches were sprayed by precision arms programmed to use the absolute minimum amount of product to achieve a shine. While it looks like a million bucks coming off the line, that Brilliant Black or Silver Gold Tricoat clear coat is often as thin as a politician's promise. On a surface as large as a Fleetwood, the wind and road debris act like sandpaper. You're likely seeing "peppering" on the front cap or the first signs of clear coat fatigue on the roof edges where the sun beats down hardest.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a rock chip in that Mocha Antracite or Alpine White, remember: the factory didn't go heavy, so you shouldn't either. Modern clear coats are brittle, and if you try to fill a deep chip with one giant "blob" of paint, it's going to shrink, crack, or stand out like a sore thumb. Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Dab a tiny amount of color, let it flash off, and repeat until you've built the depth back up to the level of the surrounding finish. It takes patience, but it's the only way to match the factory's surgical precision.
