Paint Codes - Monaco Cayman 2005 Owner's Manual

Rubbing Compounds - These types of products are generally applied by using a buffer. The use of
rubbing compounds should be left to professionals as undesired results can quickly occur. These
types of products are generally used to correct or flatten a surface by removing high spots or small
amounts of material.
When selecting a product the container should be marked, "safe for clear coats" or "clear coat
safe." Carefully follow the application instructions when using a product. Upon first use of a prod-
uct, try it on a "small test spot" in an inconspicuous area in case an undesired reaction occurs.
Observe the test area from different angles checking for hazing or swirl marks. If an abnormal reac-
tion to the finish occurs, discontinue product use and consult the product manufacturer. If the product is
a paste, do not allow dried paste to be baked on by the sun. Remove paste shortly after drying. Clean,
dry, 100% cotton cloths or cotton baby diapers are best suited for the removal of dried paste. Turn the
cloth often. Use a separate clean cloth to buff. The surface should feel "slick" when rubbing the cloth
lightly over it. Avoid repeated wax applications which can cause wax to build up. Some very fine
scratches or swirl marks may be removed by an application of a glaze. These types of glazes fill the
scratches or swirl marks.
The motorhome has a large surface area. Washing and waxing may not be completed in one
afternoon. Select sections to wax until the motorhome is complete. If the task seems overwhelm-
ing, have an automotive detailer perform the task.
The motorhome has a color scheme comprised of different colors. Each of these colors in the color
scheme 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 becomes necessary to paint a larger area, it will be nec-
essary to 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 directly for paint codes.
