Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.

Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.
I want to get some touch up paint for my 1995 Wide Body, 42'. Trouble is I can't seem to find how to relate to the paint codes which were posted above my dash approximately middle of the over head. Had to lay down on my back to get the codes.

It appears that the codes might be a Bluebird part # that you would have to cross reference to whomever they got their paint from.

Here are the codes that I found in the RV.

paint colors 112297
Base 79619 Assume this to be base primer
Light 79861 Assume this is the
off white
Stripe 79857 Assume this is the gold colored stripe
Dark 79885 This could mean the Green or the Maroon
Other 79727 There were two gold colors. this could be the
other one.

You can see that it would be a mistake to assume what I have assumed. I am trying to find out what kind of paint it is and what the codes mean as far as identifying what color the number represents and what
other information that the code represents.

I know that many of the coaches were painted with Imron paint but I found one message on the forum that said it was a paint made by a German company for the model year 1995.

Is there anyone in our forum that knows what paint was used and who made it for the Wanderlodges of 1995 model year.

Thanks for any help.

Ron several years ago I was in the same situation as you. Only one of my codes for my 94 was correct (white) and no one could match the rest with anything on the market. Randy Dupree called a friend of his and he brought out a kind of camera that analysis paint and gives you a match.

Rob,
I painted my maroon color on a white sheet of paper and will try and find an Imron Paint dealer here in Houston and see if they can identify or match the color and the shiny particles in the paint. also want to get the proper clear coat.

Thanks for replying. Rob, you don't happen to know who was the manufacturer of your 1994 paint, do you? Was it Imron? I know that Dupont Imron is used throughout the auto painting industry.

Ron I have no idea what manufacturer made my original paint and I have since thrown out the touch up stuff that Randy's buddy made for me. It went bad. Probably froze at one time. I can't remember the touch up brand name but if it's real important I'll get in touch with Randy and see what I can find out.

Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.
Any time I want to match paint, Coach, truck, boat, car etc I find a piece that
will come off such as Gas tank door, reefer vent cover etc and just take that to
a good paint house and they will shoot it with their color gun and then match it
with the exact color. Always works no problem. If you can't find a piece that
will come off just take the coach to them and they will shoot it in the street.
Works for me. Bob & Carol Howald

Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.
Thanks Bob, I had pretty well decided thats what I would have to do. I just want to make sure I get the high durability paint, one that will not crack and allow rust to get a start. In this case the area I want to touch up is on the rear fiberglass bumper.

Thanks for your reply.

Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.
Rob

Its not important. I know that Imron paint is a good paint and used by a lot of auto body shops. I found a dealer here in Houston and I am going down tomorrow and get them to match a paint swab that I have and also pick up a quart of clear coat. I only want to spray the rear bumper with color and then cover with clearcoat.
Thanks for your consideration.

Ron several years ago I was in the same situation as you. Only one of my codes for my 94 was correct (white) and no one could match the rest with anything on the market. Randy Dupree called a friend of his and he brought out a kind of camera that analysis paint and gives you a match.

It appears that the codes might be a Bluebird part # that you would have to cross reference to whomever they got their paint from.

Here are the codes that I found in the RV.

paint colors 112297

Base 79619 Assume this to be base primer
Light 79861 Assume this is the
off white
Stripe 79857 Assume this is the gold colored stripe
Dark 79885 This could mean the Green or the Maroon
Other 79727 There were two gold colors. this could be the

other one.

You can see that it would be a mistake to assume what I have assumed. I am trying to find out what kind of paint it is and what the codes mean as far as identifying what color the number represents and what
other information that the code represents.

I know that many of the coaches were painted with Imron paint but I found one message on the forum that said it was a paint made by a German company for the model year 1995.


Is there anyone in our forum that knows what paint was used and who made it for the Wanderlodges of 1995 model year.

Thanks for any help.

I had no idea what the codes identified. They looked suspiciously like a bluebird part number but you might be right about them being a BASF number.

I am going down tomorrow here in Houston and check out a Dupont paint dealer and see what they can come up with.

Thanks for replying and if you do find that they are basf numbers, please let me know. Dupont might recognize them right off.

Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.
Ron,

I was unable to respond over the weekend, but followed your paint discussion
with interest. You got lots of good responses. One thing to add on the color
match is that my paint guy, a Dupont dealer, says they like to use the color
analyzer camera (he dislikes it when I call it a color gun) in several areas
near and adjacent to the area to be repainted - even if it means spanning
panels. He says that the results are averaged and that gives them the best
match of the color, and aging effect of the color, to get the best match
results.

FWIW,

Mike Bulriss
