2006 View Paint Match

[StinkerBeanMonday]

Does anyone have a paint match for the gray lower plastic parts. Either spray can or actual factory paint code?

I would guess a paint shop could go scan it in the parking lot then sell you a few rattle cans??

I thought of that as well. some of the paint is faded more than others so no matter what I do there will not be a perfect match. I found some Rustoleum Smoke Grey that is quite a good match (very good actually). Maybe I'll just take a piece of the plastic into Walmart and see if there is anything closer.

I was hoping someone would say something easy like "Valspar Medium Grey is perfect!"

I was thinking automotive paint shops….

Do you think they could put some in a can, I know there are some places that produce factory colors in a can, maybe I'll do some searching for that. I am not certain what a paint shop can or can't do. Trying to keep a budget.

Are those gray plastic panels painted or is it a colored gel coat? Mine appear to be gel coat over black panels. If you paint them,
surface prep on the panels will be critical for good adhesion.

Good question, I'll have to take a closer look. I am *pretty sure they are sheet molded plastic and are grey all the way through.

It does appear to be gelcoat (grey over black plastic). I would have assumed paint. Any particular reason to spray gelcoat over plastic? I never knew this was a thing.

Mine have held up very well over the 17 years I’ve been the owner. Would paint have held up as well as the gel coat? I’m not sure. What I do know is that any undercarriage steel added and painted by Winnebago has rusted, and this is in an inland California area.

Thanks Gary, overall the gel coat seems to be in pretty good shape. One problem is the LR wheel arch has been hit and is cracked, plus the left rear 'bumper' is coming loose and I have to figure out how to remove and re-secure. It seems some type of adhesive was used that is coming loose on the other trim pieces as well, plus some of the brackets are rusted and no longer holding tight. Just a lot of little things that need some TLC.
