2000 Isata Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2000 Isata Vibe

The year 2000 was the dawn of the "Millennium Look," and nothing says Y2K luxury quite like an Isata Motorhome pulling into a high-end resort. While the rest of the world was panicking about computers crashing, Isata was busy perfecting the art of the neutral palette. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era-the sophisticated tones like Lt. Neutral Metallic and Med. Neutral Metallic. These weren't just "beige" to the folks buying them back then; they were the "Champagne and Caviar" of the highway, designed to look expensive while hiding a thousand miles of road dust.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 2000, the industry had fully committed to the base-clear system, which gave these motorhomes that deep, glass-like reflection. The problem? UV rays are the natural enemy of a clear coat that's spent twenty years baking in desert campgrounds. You'll likely notice "delamination"-that's painter-speak for when the clear coat starts flaking off like a bad sunburn, especially on the front cap or the upper roof rails. Once that top layer loses its grip on the metallic base, the pigment underneath starts to oxidize and turn chalky almost overnight.

Restoration Tip

In this era of paint, speed is your best friend. If you spot a small rock chip or a tiny area where the clear looks like it's starting to lift, you need to seal it immediately. If air and moisture get under that clear coat "skin," it'll start to tunnel, and a dime-sized repair will turn into a square-foot disaster by your next trip. Clean the area with a prep solvent, touch up the color, and make sure you're using a high-quality clear to lock it down. Think of it as a localized skin graft-seal the edges before the clear decides to vacate the premises entirely.
