Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.

[Ron Thompson]

Update on my 1995 Wide Body, 42' paint codes. Here are the codes that were posted on a decal that was on the bottom of the overhead console about the middle of the coach. I had to lay on my back on the dash and look up at the bottom of the overhead console about the middle of the windshield. The paint code decal was clearly visible and contained the following: "111247 - not sure what this number meant. It could be that it was a master code number for all the paint codes for this particular model of coach. Base 79619 Light 79861 Stripe 79857 Dark 79885 Other 79727 The paint codes above are Glasurit Paint code numbers. I think the 79 might indicate Glasurit. I had Eastx Paint Co. check these numbers and they do translate to a particular color and formula of Glasurit Paint. These numbers were also convertible to an IMRON, (trademark of Dupont) paint color and code. The people at Eastx paint co. were easy to work with and very accomodating. They deal with Dupont paints. I assume they are a factory representative. Eastx Paint Co. 3056 Tidwell Houston, Tx. 77093 phone: 713-692-2777 It was a simple matter once it was undestood what those numbers were. A disclaimer is necessary here. I am not affiliated whatsover with either Eastx. Paint Co. or Dupont. This document is strictly meant to be a helpful aid to fellow forum members.

To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, October 23, 2010, 3:42 PM 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 Thompson -Waller, Tx. 1995 WLWB 42' (cockyfox@...)

ROB. basf codes as follows. 79619 ford warm white 79861 ford light saddle met.
79857 ford med gold met 79885 ford wine met 79727 ford med green met. these are
base coat clear coar colors imron will not match. I would have these colors
mixed by a BASF jobber that will be your best match. Lee Condosta 85 PT 40

Thank you Lee. That info will prove valuable to anyone with a mid nineties coach. I have a 99 now. I'll get my numbers and post them. Who knows they may be BASF as well. I'll run them by my local paint shop

when i wanted to touch up places on my BIRD i took the bus to an auto paint
supplier. He came out with some kind of gadget that read each paint color on the
coach, he then made up the paints for me,
