Itasca Touch Up Paint (129 OEM Colors)

About Itasca Paint

Itasca motorhomes are famous for their big, beautiful finishes that are built to handle the open road. Older models usually have a simpler paint or a shiny gel-coat, but modern Itascas use high-quality automotive clearcoats that look just like a luxury car. These paints are very tough and designed to stay bright even after years of sitting in the sun and rain.

Application Tips

Since these vehicles are so large, the paint is made to lay down flat and smooth. When you use a brush or a spray can for a small fix, you will notice the paint stays wet just long enough to blend in without leaving rough edges. Just remember that RVs often have a lot of wax and road grime on them, so you must clean the area perfectly before you start painting.

Quick Summary

• Paint Feel: Hard. Because it is made for heavy-duty outdoor use, the clearcoat is quite firm. This makes it great at resisting scratches, but it takes a little more effort if you need to sand or polish it.
• Best Advice: Watch out for the heat. Dark colors on Itascas can get very hot in the sun, which can eventually cause tiny cracks called "checking." Try to do your paint repairs in the shade so the metal or fiberglass stays cool.
• Pro Tip: Clean it twice. Use a good grease and wax remover before you touch the paint. RVs carry a lot of hidden oils that can make your fresh paint peel off if you aren't careful!
