Carriage Cameo Touchup Paint

I have a 2006 Carriage Cameo that needs the lower aluminum panels touched up because of wear and tear. It is a white/cream color and I would like to get a spray can for touch up.

I read a while back that some car touch up paint would work but the color and location of the article escapes me.

Are there any other Carriage owners out there that know of a spray paint or remember the location of the article?

Thanks for your help.

    Our local NAPA store has a device they put up against a flat surface and it gives them the information they need to match the paint. They'll mix up the paint and put it in a spray can. I used it once a few years ago and it worked well. Hope this helps.

    You need to match the color it is now, not when it left the factory.

    A good body shop that specializes in fiberglass (Corvette) repair, or a boat repair shop.

    After 8 or so years, you can bet the color has faded and changed from what it once was. If you could find a spay can in the factory color you can bet that it wouldn't match anyway. Your best bet is to bring it to a body shop and let them mix, match and spray the panel if you want professional results...

    Still looking to match the basic white/cream color of a 2006 carriage cameo before the decals are applied. No luck at auto parts store and the local rv dealer is no help.

    There is no color number in the cabinet in my unit as some have have said should be there. If anyone out there can look in their unit and post a paint color/number/paint name, etc. it will be greatly appreciated.

    I have a Cameo full body paint. There is no code for the paint. Had to replace top and they paint the over lap. RV body shop has a machine that figures out the paint color. I do not understand. Needed some one other time, and they just mixed until they got it. It was perfect. A good shop can do most anything in that department.

    Should be a paint code inside one of the kitchen cabinet doors. Look near the weight sticker. Randu

    Any auto paint supplier worth it's salt should be able to match the color easily, and provide a spray can ready to go.
