I got with the Fleetwood people about touching up the paint on the rear ramp door. They don't sell the paint, but the door manufacturers can supply an aerosol can of touch up paint. The bad part is I would have to go to an rv dealer, who orders it from Fleetwood, Fleetwood orders it from ramp door manufacturer, ramp door manufacturer sends to Fleetwood, Fleetwood sends to rv dealer. That may take a year. It's a regular white door. Any suggestions? Has anyone else 'touched up' their rear ramp door?

See who the paint supplier is. Get paint code. Possible local supplier can get it canned for you in short time. Had trucks at work {Volvos} Got code Local Sherman Williams got it in less than 5 working days. We did have to buy a 12 can case though.

I deal with a national auto parts chain (Carquest). If I take a paint chip in, they have a machine that will "read" the chip and tell them how to mix that particular color. I and others I know have done this with great success. Any possibility of having this done for you and by-passing the rest of the mess to get the paint you need? Also, they will mix the paint into aerosol cans or Qts, etc for you to mix and spray yourself if you have that ability. Pretty handy set-up.

Last year I had the front cap painted (due to some spider cracks in the gel coat)on my old gearbox trailer. matching paint never came up as an issue.
It was covered under warranty and the work was done at a local body shop. They had it done in about a week so, I'm assuming matching paint was never a concern.
