Cant remember the specific name of the material used on my Coachman Freedom Express Class C, but its the white fiber board material. I was involved in a minor accident recently, and need some spray paint in a can for it.

Cant find it at Camping World. Where do u go for this ? Thanks. I want spray and not touchup paint in a tiny bottle.

If ypu have a broken part that you can take to any automotive paint dealer, most have color spectrum analyzer and they can mix what you need. It is a free service every time I have used it.

I can tell from the questions you ask that you are gonne b very disappointed with the out come of this paint job.. it is very important to use compatible paint ,,the manufacture used a brand of jel-coat to achieve the finish and color of your unit. Do you know what to do with the overspray you will have on the surrounding surface...do you know how to prep the area you want to paint, does your unit have a coat of clear coat poly-urethane applied over the jel-coat. you must consider all of the things before you even purchase the paint to be used...I painted trucks for years and let me tell you a good job that will last for a while aint cheap or easy to achieve...do your home work and ask questions on here before you start..Poly paint is a two part paint which means you will have to purchase the base paint and the catalyst or hardener
. you can take your unit to Sherwin Williams and they can site match the paint...the paint \you purchase at the box stores including the raddle cans wont work. They can also tell you the formula to mix the poly and the shelf life...

Some auto paint suppliers will mix to a color code, and put your paint in a spray can for small jobs and touch ups.

I guess it would use paint for plastics , so, im wondering how close it would come if I tried a couple different white spray cans from walmart designated for plastics ? I could spray some of each on some plastic I have laying around.
