2018 Itasca Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2018 Itasca Vibe

By 2018, the "Modern Nomad" look had officially taken over. We were deep into the era of sophisticated neutrals, where looking like a high-end tourer meant embracing every shade of shadow available. Itasca-leaning heavily into their Winnebago DNA-delivered the goods on models like the Sunova and the Sunstar. It was a refined palette; we're talking Iron Gray and Gray Metallic for the serious highway burners, and Seafoam for the folks who still remembered that camping was supposed to be fun. It wasn't about being loud; it was about blending into the scenery with a $150,000 price tag.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2018, the factory robots had been calibrated to a level of efficiency that would make a miser weep. These rigs came off the line with clear coats so precise they're practically measured in atoms. The result? That Silver or Dark Neutral finish looks like a million bucks right up until it meets a piece of flying Georgia granite. Because the layers are so thin, those rock chips don't just "ping"-they crater. And keep an eye on those front caps; if you've spent too much time chasing the sun in Arizona, that thin clear coat is likely starting to "check" or develop those tiny spiderweb cracks that signal the beginning of the end.

Restoration Tip

Since you're working with "Robot Efficiency" thickness, the absolute worst thing you can do is go in heavy-handed. When you're filling a chip on your 2018, build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you try to fill a deep chip in one go, the solvent won't outgas properly, and you'll end up with a "soft" spot that'll shrink and look like a dimple in a month. Use three or four paper-thin coats, letting them tack up in between. It takes patience, but it's the only way to match that laser-precise factory profile without making your Sunstar look like it has the measles.
