Paint Color

[tcampanaro]

Does anyone happen to know the color codes for the brown on the cap of a Montana 3711FL? I have some sun damage on the cap I want to fix. I looked for paint codes on the RV with no luck and also asked Keystone Owner Relations. They told me "We would not have paint codes to provide as the majority of our items come painted from the vendor. We would advise contacting your local Keystone authorized dealership or body shop to ensure you are receiving the correct color and application." That would mean an appointment just to get a color scan. I'm trying to avoid that so I can paint it myself.

What year is your Montana?

Use the google search box top right of this page. I just tried "paint colors" and lots of previous threads come up...some of them look to have some paint charts included in the thread. Also try "paint codes" and see what you get.

Thanks, I did a pretty extensive search of the forums and didn't find anything before posting. I also searched, as many recommended, my RV top to bottom to see if there was a sticker somewhere but found nothing.

That is so sad that Keystone can't provide basic information like this. I feel your pain.

I've seen ads on TV for places where you can take a picture of an item, bring it into the paint store, and they'll use their computer to figure out the formula and match the color for you. (Lowe's? Sherwin Williams?)

Maybe you could take a picture and have a sample made, making sure they write down the formula for you, then try it out on a small section of your Montana to see if the color matches. If it does, then there you go. If it doesn't, then you could try again, tweaking the formula until it matches. Then you'd have the formula for that color of paint, if not the name. (Assuming the formula would transfer from house paint to vehicle paint.)

Oh--never mind. I see the names of the colors have just been posted!

I took my 2019 3721RL by an automotive paint store and they did a color match for me and it matched out great.

A couple of years ago, I went to an automotive specialty paint shop and had them do paint color matching for my 2017 Montana. The resulting colors were definitely not a 100% match - and thus any touchups stand out. The paint I purchased also dried out - in sealed containers - within a year.

Just realized I never put the year. It's a 2015.
