Does anyone happen to have the specific colors on the Tan and Burgundy. Redwood's touch up paint has the RW reference # on the little bottle. I need to try to match the silver/grey color.

It, and other paint colors are listed on a manual in the Manual section of the ROG Technical Library:

It details the colors for the 2012 (I don't think their were other years, but I may have missed it.).

I may use the silver and expect that will get me close. We are using it for the radius of the roof, so it won't have any metallic. But getting the formula helps.

Because of the metallic, it is very hard to tell if that final color is silver, pewter or a light gold.

Thanks for all your help.

I can say that when my wife opened the slide onto my scaffolding when the trailer was only a few months old, I called Precision Paint in Elkhart. They said this paint ( Sikkens ) is very expensive.. I looked locally for an alternative supplier and found a distributor that would sell it to my local body shop. It was several hundred dollars for a quart...

Joe,
The cost doesn't totally surprise me. I am also finding it is going to be almost impossible to match the color from a formula. What I had not factored in the metallic--which I can't use.

We had to paint the water heater cover and were able to match the paint colors by taking samples to the local auto parts store. We bought rattle cans of spray paint and were amazed how closely that they matched our black and tan color scheme.

George,

Here are the 2014 38GK Colors (Our rig was painted 4/10/13):

Cream: CHA04:XWG
Red: 304E2
Gold: FA99:B2
Black: GMA984A

If you need the original resource:

Precision Painting Inc.
730 High Road
PO Box 214
Bremen, Indiana 46506
(574) 546-4473
(574) 546-4715 Fax

Like others, I've been able to do "touch ups" using spray cans from the auto supply or even Lowes. The TPO roof is notorious for flaking off. The black is by far the easiest to match.

That was my issue, to have the fender match the skirting and have the same metallic. . ..
RW sent me 2 extra touch up bottles at no cost, 1 was plenty to spray the fender..
