2002 Newmar Touch Up Paint (26 OEM Colors)

The 2002 Newmar Vibe

Welcome to the peak of the "Full-Body Paint" revolution. In 2002, while most of the industry was still slapping vinyl stickers over white gelcoat, Newmar was treating the Dutch Star and Mountain Aire like rolling luxury estates. Our database holds 16 of the finest hues from this era-a desert-inspired collection of sophisticated neutrals. We're talking about those deep, metallic "National Park" vibes like Antelope Metallic (B9148K), Kalahari Beige, and the legendary Black Gold Metallic. If you're driving one of these, you aren't just camping; you're making a statement in Coronado Sand.

Paint Health Check: The Peeling Era

Being a child of the early 2000s, your Newmar falls squarely into The Peeling Era. By now, that factory clear coat has spent two decades baking in the sun at various campgrounds. The "Agitate" here is delamination. Look closely at the upper roof radius or the front cap; if you see what looks like a sunburn peeling away in silver-dollar-sized flakes, the clear has lost its bond to the basecoat. Furthermore, these fiberglass rigs are prone to "checking"-those tiny, dark spiderweb cracks that happen when the substrate gets hot. Once the clear lifts, moisture gets in, and your Midnight Pine Pearl starts looking like a shed snake skin.

Restoration Tip: Seal the Breach

The secret to keeping a 2002 Newmar looking "factory" is speed. Because this era is notorious for clear coat failure, you cannot let a rock chip sit open to the elements. If air and water get under the edge of that clear, the delamination will spread like a wildfire.

The Fix: Clean the area with a wax remover, dab your color match into the chip, and-this is the big one-level it off with a fresh clear coat dab immediately. You're not just fixing a color spot; you're "welding" the edge of the clear coat back down to the body. If you catch it early, you can stop a $20,000 full respray with a five-minute touch-up.
