RV-Other Holiday Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Holiday really went for it with their palette, offering a solid 11 colors that prove life on the road doesn't have to be just "beige"-even if Beige is actually on the list twice! From the deep, moody Carbon Flash Black to the crisp Java White, they've provided a range that spans from understated class to "look-at-me" metallic. Whether you're sporting the Merlot Red or the sophisticated Smoke Metallic, these colors were designed to make your home-on-wheels look like a million bucks at the campground.
What to Watch For
Because these rigs spend their lives chasing the sun, the paint has a tough job. Keep a close eye on the "brow" over the cab and along the roof line; the clear coat here tends to get a bit tired and may start to peel or flake after a few seasons of UV exposure. Also, if you're hunting for your paint code, it's a bit of a scavenger hunt. Check the inside of your upper kitchen cabinet doors first. If it's not hiding there, take a peek under the driver's captain's chair or on the pedestal-Holiday loved to tuck those placards in spots where they wouldn't ruin the interior aesthetic.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since colors like Smoke Metallic and Java White rely on specific pigments to catch the light, you need to give that touch-up bottle a serious workout. Shake it for at least 60 seconds-yes, set a timer-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, remember that gravity is your enemy on the side of an RV. Use the "dab, don't stroke" method with your brush. If you have a deep chip, it's much better to apply three paper-thin layers over an afternoon than one big, gooey glob that will eventually sag.
