cbr046 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Had a 10 ft step ladder 9 ft away from the coach that the wind blew over. I knew it was going to windy Saturday, but not THAT windy! The damage is done and I'm just looking for touch up paint. It's not a show coach, $10 repair at most. Question is: what color best approximates 2003 HR "gold"? The ladder has been disciplined. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterskier_1 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 You may have the original paint codes on a tag under the drivers seat. But that will be the "new" color, not the 20-year old faded color. I find it best to take the coach, or a piece of the coach (refrigerator panel) in to a quality automotive paint store and have it computer scanned (matched). That way, you'll get a very close match to the color the coach is now. -Rick N. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis-C Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'd go to a paint store (automotive?) that can custom mix paints. Take in a piece of trim or that gas door in your photo and if the shops any good they can match it pretty close. They can mix you a tiny batch that goes in a bottle with a brush or can put it into a rattle can spray. -Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went over budget, too. $10.70 Get this: There were 2 left. Now there's one, and the price went up $1.98 within an hour. They must be expecting a rush on them. - bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubflyer Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Guess you are going to leave the dent...? or is that an optical illusion? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually make the damage more obvious if I try to fix these kind of things. #1 Best scenario would be to remove the panel, sandwich the dent between two hard pieces of wood and start beating on the wood . . . maybe even a small block of steel as the top (unpainted) side. #2 Or just leave the dent there. Door #1 or door #2. Tell us what he's won, Monty! Not being adept at this kind of thing I'm open for suggestions. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubflyer Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My vote is leave it or fill it and paint the whole panel..... which will cost $$$ in paint and work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdroberson Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I fixed two doors and three corners of my MH that was damaged when I got it used the paint from auto zone probably used 8 cans and you will not see where I repaired it unless I point it out to you the canes are not that big and cost about 11.00 a can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterskier_1 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I removed the door & took it to a body shop. Hey had no problem fixing the dent. They painted the whole panel to match. I choose not to take the coach in to have that one panel (door) blended into the two on either side, which would have been considerably more.
