paint color exterior

**YWORRYDOG** · 09-23-2006, 03:52 PM

I know it has been asked before, but I did not find the answer. Is there a known paint brand and color that is a true match for the exterior of the newer TM"S?

Since there are no answers, does this mean that I am the only TM owner that has put a scratch on it? (Did it in the garage, not backing up)

Did a search and someone used Colonial White...no brand mentioned.
I would be inclined to contact ED at Trailmanor and ask! Can't do better than that!

Ed said to use Polar White. Didn't seem to be a perfect match though.

Any chance Ed could send a "touch-up" kit of the factory paint?

Is this paint a special type (enamel or exterior house paint, something like that?) Maybe a dumb question but only to those who know th answer

I used Krylon white in the spray can from Wally World. It worked great, Matched perfectly and you can't see where I used it, and I used it everywhere there was paint missing or any rust showing through on the stirrups, or where the bumpers rubbed the paint off the door, etc.

Well, it cant hurt to try. I wonder if the color of the newer TMs differs that much from my 10 year old one.

Quite possibly. It is my observation that older TMs have a much more cream/gold tint to the paint color. The new ones are bright white. I don't know when the change occurred, but of course you would do well to test a prospective color on a hunk of scrap before applying it to your TM.
