2004 Travel Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2004 Travel Vibe

Welcome to 2004, a year defined by flip phones, the Ugg boot invasion, and the absolute dominance of the luxury land-yacht. If you were piloting a Supreme or a high-end Motorhome back then, you weren't just traveling; you were making a statement in "Desert Chic." Our database for this year focuses on the true survivors-the earthy, sophisticated neutrals that defined the era. We've dialed in the essentials like Cool Beige, Sahara Sand, and Medium Suede. It was a time when "Greige" was the only color that mattered, designed to blend in with the high-end RV parks of Palm Springs and Sedona.

Paint Health Check

Technologically, 2004 was a high-water mark for "Full Body Paint" on fiberglass, but it was also the heart of The Peeling Era. These rigs were finished with a base-coat/clear-coat system that looked deep and glassy on the showroom floor, but the clear coat from this period is notorious for delamination. If your Travel Supreme has been baking in the sun for two decades, check the roof radii and the front cap. You'll likely see the clear coat starting to flake off in thin, crispy sheets like a bad sunburn. Once that clear layer lifts, the base color underneath-especially darker tones like Dark Brown-has zero UV protection and will turn chalky and dead within months.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your biggest enemy is the "ledge." When a rock chip hits that thick 2004 clear coat, it creates a tiny entry point for moisture and air to get between the layers. Therefore, you must seal chips immediately. If you see a small nick, don't wait for the weekend. Dab it with a color match and a fresh dab of clear to "lock the edges" down. If the clear has already started to lift or "map" (looking like a white cloud under the surface), you've got to sand back the loose edges until you hit a solid bond before you even think about reaching for the spray gun.
