Paint

[Gregory OConnor]

leroy, if it is touchup I would just take the bus to a good dealer
autobody shop and get an out the door quote ( may be less expensive
than you think). Chances are that the paint color will change with
the transfering out of the 1990's restricted formulas. and in the
quart mininum mix quantities you will need you are talking over 400.
bucks. A good shop can site mix and blend. you won't get the code
excuse "but sir that is the paint code you ordered." Prism in the
metalic paints is also something that will be hard to match unless
you have special skills. maybe the paint code is a royal number. Bob
and Dixie G have a 92 Royal conversion, I wonder if they have info on
the codes.

fabulous shape, not a scratch anyplace except a couple of recent
chips that I did while changing the broken end of the main Zip Dee
awning brace. I dropped the main awning on the side of the coach.
Ouch! Dumb! It could have been worse.

turquoise and rose over two tone gray---but our interior was altered
by the original owner during construction. Our interior is top
notch. I have been told that Royal did the interior, haven't been
able to verify. Got Steven Birtles looking into it although it
really doesn't mean anything, talking points maybe. The idea of
repainting has previously been squashed by the wife. Thanks for the
response.
