2017 Itasca Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Itasca Vibe

By 2017, Itasca was fully embracing the "modern luxury" aesthetic, leaving the loud graphics of the 90s in the rearview mirror. Whether you were piloting a Sunstar or a high-end Suncruiser, the look was all about sophisticated, understated earth tones and metallic finishes. Our database shows a refined palette of 8 colors-mostly a masterclass in "50 Shades of Gray" with hits like Iron Gray and Pewter Pearl Metallic. And then there's Seafoam, the lone rebel in the bunch, offering a splash of personality for the owner who wasn't afraid to stand out at the RV park.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2017, the robots at the factory had become masters of efficiency-which is great for their bottom line, but a headache for your front cap. These coaches were sprayed with precision-engineered, ultra-thin layers of basecoat and clearcoat. It looks spectacular on the showroom floor, but the reality is that the clear coat on those high-exposure areas-the roof radiuses and the front mask-is likely screaming for help by now. You aren't just fighting oxidation; you're fighting "Robot Efficiency." Between the road grit at 70mph and the relentless UV beating on the roof line, those thin layers are prone to micro-fractures and "peppering" chips that go straight to the substrate.

Restoration Tip

Since 2017 paint is applied with surgical thinness, your repair strategy needs to match that finesse. Build your layers slowly; don't just blob it. If you try to fill a rock chip on a Gray Metallic or Silver hood in one heavy pass, the metallic flakes will sink to the bottom like lead weights, leaving you with a dark, ugly spot that looks like a fly landed on your rig. Instead, use thin, feather-light coats. Let each layer tack up so the metallics stay suspended where they belong. It takes a little more patience, but it's the only way to replicate that factory-robot finish without looking like you used a tube of toothpaste for the repair.
