I first called my coach manufacturer and got the paint codes. Then any professional paint supply for automotive can mix them for you. I had five colors, thought I had only four.

Here is an online source if you can find the paint numbers. Or get them frm Fleetwood (call customer service).

For some reasons RV touch up paint can be hard to find,  If you have troubles find the color code chart that is SOMEWHERE in your RV  (On mind Damon said it's on the inside of a door in the kitchen,, It is inside the closet (Wardrobe) in the bedroom, so as you can see not even the coach maker knows for sure where it is) and visit a Sherman Williams Automotive store..  Be sure to take a low-balance credit card of a high balance wallet withi you .. Stuff is not cheap (lice sixty bucks a pint).  They can put it in a can or a spary or both.

Just wondered what part of you rv needed touching up? When I bought my 2001 this passed Sept , two of the corners (bumper area) were scuffed up. I filled the scratches with a 3m product. I then taped off all 4 corner and rolled on the black roll-on bed liner.It actually looks really good. It also make for easy touch up if I make the same kind of mistake the previous owner did. On mine where the front and back bumper wraps around there was a seam which I used to tape off a nice neat line. I just came around the front and back about a foot and ran another straight vertical tape line. Bugs wash off that section so easy I have considered doing the rest of the front bumper

Dabrooks - I was wondering if anyone had used truck bed liner on a bumper! Been contemplating using it to revive the front of my 92 Southwind. The bumper there is quite beaten up after 21 years on the road I'm also guessing it might be a good non-slip treatment for step areas at front and rear? I can't seem to get that non slip tape to stay stuck!

beaver used a rubberized undercoating by 3m on the front of some of their coaches in the late 90"s

Are you talking about a chrome bumper? If so I have not tried it on chrome. I did put it on the front and rear painted bumper area of my class A. The previous owner had scuffed the paint off a corner of the front and rear bumper. I did get paint that was supposed to match
but it really didn't. So I rolled on the bed liner to all four corners. I neatly taped off the areas so the would match and it really looks good. I am considering doing the rest of the front bumper because bugs don't stick and it is chip resistsnt.

My bumpers are painted plastic/fibreglass. Looking rather rough from years of rocks and other debris. The bed liner sounds like a good option  - especially the part where bugs don't stick and rocks don't chip!

Surface prep is the same as any other paint. Clean the area good and scuff lightly with fine sand paper. If your bumper area has crevices which mine did not, you may want to opt for the spray on bed liner. I rolled mine on since the bumpers were smooth just curved where they wraped around. I put on two coats.
