Paint Codes
The motorhome paint scheme is comprised of specifi c colors. Each of these colors has been assigned a
paint code. The paint code is a formula used to mix different colors to achieve a desired color of paint. It may
be necessary to obtain “Touch-Up” paint to repair a small imperfection in the paint surface. However, if it is
necessary to paint a larger area, obtain the paint code to get the correct color.
To Obtain the Paint Code:
1. Contact National Parts at 1-877-466-6226.
2. Specify the year, model, serial number and exterior color scheme name (if known).
3. Once the paint code has been obtained for the desired color, contact Industrial Finishes at
1-800-531-1305. They will use the paint code to get the mixing formula.
4. This formula can be mixed at a local BASF paint store.
NOTE:
All special paint schemes require contacting Monaco Coach Corporation directly for the
paint codes.
Tire Care
Use proper care and cleaning methods to obtain maximum service years out of the tires. Road oil will cause
deterioration of the rubber. Dirt build-up can trap chemicals, causing deterioration. Use a soft brush and a mild
detergent to clean the tires. If a dressing product is used to protect the tires from aging, use extra care and caution.
Tire dressings that contain petroleum products or alcohol may cause deterioration or cracking.
In many cases it is not the dressing that causes a problem but the chemical reaction that subsequently occurs.
When these same dressing products are used on a passenger car tire that is replaced every three to four years, it
is rare to see a major problem. However, in most cases recreational vehicle tires may last longer due to limited
annual mileage and exposure.
Bright Metal
All chrome and stainless steel should be washed and cleaned each time the motorhome is washed. Use
only automotive approved non-abrasive cleaners and polishes on exterior bright work. DO NOT use rubbing
compounds. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or compounds to clean the mirrors.
NOTE:
When using chemicals to remove road tars, use only automotive type products that
are recommended for use on painted surfaces and fiberglass. Observe the warning
recommendations and directions printed on the container of any agent being used.
