2022 Newmar Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Newmar Vibe

Welcome to the era of the "Rolling Mansion." In 2022, Newmar wasn't just building motorhomes; they were crafting land-yachts for the high-end nomad. Whether you were piloting a Dutch Star or the massive Super Star, the look was all about sophisticated, earthy depth. Our database shows a staggering 17-color palette from this year, proving that Newmar wasn't afraid of a little variety. We're talking about jewel-toned beauties like Midnight Pine Pearl and Rainforest Pearl, or the desert-chic vibes of Kalahari Beige Metallic and Mojave Beige. It was a year where "beige" actually looked expensive, and Black Gold Metallic made everyone else at the RV park look like they were still living in 2010.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Thin Paint Era. Newmar brags about their "Masterpiece Finish" and using a dozen gallons of paint, but don't let the marketing fool you-modern factory robots are programmed for extreme efficiency. While the BASF clear coats they used are incredibly glossy and hard, they are applied with microscopic precision, which is a fancy way of saying they're thin. On a 2022 model, you're likely seeing the first signs of "road rash" on the front cap. Because these modern clears are so brittle, a pebble at 65 mph doesn't just dent the paint; it can shatter the bond of these thin layers, leading to localized chipping that looks like a starry night against colors like Sapphire Blue Metallic.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2022 Newmar, remember: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin and flat, a giant drop of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. You want to apply your color in two or three paper-thin passes rather than one heavy glob. If you're working with those high-flake metallics like Stratus Metallic or Topaz Metallic, a heavy application will "drown" the metal flakes, making the repair look darker than the surrounding panel. Keep it light, keep it level, and let the solvent flash off between coats to maintain that "Masterpiece" look without the masterpiece price tag of a full respray.
