2021 Fleetwood Touch Up Paint (66 OEM Colors)

The 2021 Fleetwood Vibe

By 2021, the world had decided that the safest place to be was in a 40-foot rolling fortress. Fleetwood was more than happy to oblige, pumping out Motorhomes like the Flair and Southwind for a new generation of "glampers" who wanted the comforts of home with the mobility of a nomad. With 66 colors in our database for this year alone, Fleetwood wasn't just building coaches; they were offering a custom-tailored wardrobe for the interstate. Whether you were rocking the sophisticated Bodega Beige Metallic, the fiery Cayenne Red, or the deep, wine-soaked Bordeaux Red Metallic, these rigs were designed to look like a million bucks parked at a National Park trailhead.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. Now, don't get me wrong-the finish on a 2021 Fleetwood looks like liquid glass when it's fresh off the lot. But here's the rub: that shine is the result of "Robot Efficiency." In the modern factory, robotic sprayers apply paint with surgical precision, which is great for consistency but lousy for depth. They use just enough to cover the primer and not a drop more. On a massive Motorhome front cap, this means your Iron Gray Metallic or Alpine White finish is incredibly thin. Give it a few thousand miles of following semi-trucks on the I-10, and you'll find that those "micro-layers" of clear coat and base offer very little resistance to stone chips and road debris.

Restoration Tip

Because you're working with high-efficiency, thin factory coats, the "big glob" approach to touch-up is your worst enemy. If you try to fill a chip in your Champagne Pearl Metallic by dabbing a giant teardrop of paint into the crater, it'll stand out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tip applicator to apply a paper-thin layer, let it flash off, and repeat. You want to mimic the robot's precision, not a house painter's brush stroke. By building the color up in three or four thin passes, you ensure the metallic flakes lay down correctly and the repair stays level with that razor-thin factory finish.
