2002 Travel Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2002 Travel Vibe

Welcome to the year of the "High-Tech Neutral." Back in 2002, if you weren't driving a Supreme or piloting a Motorhome across state lines, you were probably living in a different timeline. The industry had fully surrendered to the "Champagne Era," and our database reflects that refined, earthy palette. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of the decade: the timeless Sahara Sand (PPG 28415) and Cool Beige. It was a time when luxury meant looking like you could blend into a desert landscape without losing your high-gloss shine.

Paint Health Check

You are officially in the "Peeling Era." By 2002, the industry had mastered the deep gloss of multi-stage clear coats, but those clear coats had a shelf life, especially on the broad, sun-beaten shoulders of a Motorhome. If your Medium Suede (PPG 4817) or Dark Brown (PPG 5227) accents look like they're suffering from a bad case of road-sunburn, you're looking at delamination. Once the clear coat loses its bond, it starts flaking off in sheets, leaving the color coat beneath it vulnerable to the elements. If you see white, crusty edges starting to lift around the window frames or the roofline, the clock is ticking.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your best friend is early intervention. If you catch a rock chip in your Warm Gray finish, do not wait for the weekend. Seal that chip immediately. Once moisture and air get under the clear coat "envelope," the delamination will spread like a wildfire. Use a plastic scraper to gently remove any loose, "flaky" clear coat until you hit a hard edge, then feather it back with fine-grit paper before applying your touch-up. You aren't just fixing a spot; you're stopping the clear coat from lifting off the entire panel.
