Off topic. Cute Westies. Mine is sleeping next to me.

Your question is a good one. You might try calling Keystone customer service or send them an email. Some other members here may know the answer.

If they don't sell it, they should be able to tell you what company made it. Keystone's not in the paint making business.

As mentioned keystone does not paint the RV's or sell the paint . You can find out what company painted your Rv then contact them about touch up.

Sherwin Williams can match most any paint as can most any vehicle paint shop.It will not be inexpensive. There are some online places that sell those tubes of touch up paint like we see in our cars and trucks but they are normally not a very good match.

The company that pained our 2013 Big sky no longer paints for Keystone and 3 of the colors are no longer used.

According to the 2018 Montana brochure PDF posted yesterday in another thread, Montana now paints all the RVs themselves in house. They even claim to apply 2 (only 2?) coats of clear. So I think you should be able to get matching paint from them for current models. Depending of the age of your Montana you may be better off with a paint supplier who does paint matching which will account for any fading that has occurred.

Ours is brand new. There were two small chips on the front which the dealer gave me 100 bucks to spend in the parts store as a willing to accept them. I am going to touch them up myself. When I buy a vehicle I always order a touch up pen. So I was hoping Montana offered touch up paint

Mine (full body paint) also came with touch up paint. In addition, there is a sticker on the door listing paint codes.

One of my RV savvy neighbors said to go to the auto store and simply get auto touch up paint in the small bottle. I wanted to "fix" some small scratches that a pine tree in our driveway decided to make in our front cap the first time I squeezed in! Trying to match the array of vehicle shades of beige paint was a waste of time. I'm still looking for the right "fix". I might do just as well with the standard off the shelf appliance touch up. Ecru or Beige?? Or is it almond?
Difference between them is that beige is having a slightly yellowish gray colour, as that of unbleached wool while ecru is of a beige colour.
