1999 Itasca Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Itasca Vibe

It's 1999. You're stocking up on canned goods for Y2K, and your Itasca is the ultimate escape pod. Whether you were piloting a Suncruiser, a Sunrise, or a Spirit, the aesthetic was all about that high-tech, turn-of-the-millennium sophistication. We've focused our database on the survivors-the four essential shades that defined the era: Silver, Gray Metallic, Dark Neutral, and White. In an age of "Champagne" and "Pewter" everything, these colors were designed to make your motorhome look less like a breadbox and more like a sleek, silver shuttle ready for the next century.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 1999, the industry had gone all-in on basecoat/clearcoat tech, but the chemistry hadn't quite accounted for the massive surface area of an RV's fiberglass caps and roof radii. If your Itasca has spent its life outdoors, you're likely staring at delamination-that's painter-speak for your clear coat deciding it no longer wants to be married to the paint underneath. It starts as a faint cloudiness or a small "bubble" near the roofline, and before you know it, your Dark Neutral or Gray Metallic accents are peeling away like a bad sunburn after a week in Cabo.

Restoration Tip

Listen to me: Seal your chips immediately. In this era of paint, a single rock chip is the "Patient Zero" of clear coat failure. Once moisture and oxygen find a way under that clear layer, they'll start lifting it in sheets, and there's no "buffing" your way out of that. If you've got a chip on your 1999 rig, clean it with a solvent-based prep and get some fresh paint in the hole right away. You want to bridge that gap and lock down the edges before the clear coat starts to curl. If you catch it early, you save the finish; if you wait, you're looking at a full-blown strip-and-spray job.
