Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.

[Ron Thompson]

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.

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.

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. > > > On 23 October 2010 13:42, Ron Thompson wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > 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 > > BaseÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÃ​ƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€š 79619 Assume this to be base primer > LightÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ​ 79861 Assume this is the > off white > StripeÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÃâ€​šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€š 79857 Assume this is the gold colored stripe > DarkÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÃ​ƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€šÃƒâ€š 79885 This could mean the Green or the Maroon > OtherÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ​ 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 Thompson -Waller, Tx. > > 1995 WLWB 42' > > (cockyfox@...) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > Rob, Sue and Joey Robinson >
