FR3 color codes

[adetoro]

Hi,

Anyone out there with an early FR3...2013-2014 with the Brown colored crown above the windshield? I'd like to touch up a spot but cannot find the 2 color codes anywhere in the cabinets inside the rv.

Asked customer service and they sent me one code only since the newer units have just one color...the crown being the same color as the rest of the unit.

If anyone has the code for the brown, please repond...Thanks

I had asked Travis Bird at FR the same question just to have if needed, and was given these #'s. Although he was not sure which is the darker or lighter. He was going to ask their paint dept., but never heard back from him.
The color codes are:
3381966 card
Sikkens Altek 999-2
Clear coat 77765
These were taken off a DuPont chroma premier.
I have not checked them out so, if you do, please let me know if they are any good.

Thanks for your information. Travis had sent me this code:
Dupont - 338196CARD

as the only code he had. This must be the light color that the newer units have as the only color. So now we know which is the dark.

I assume you would cover the color with the clear coat.

Thanks again...

Where do you buy the paint from?

Any place that sells DuPont automotive paints.

Very frustrating...took the codes to the only auto parts store in my area that sells Dupont and can mix. They looked up the Sikkens Altex 999-2 code and said it was 'Silver'. There is no silver on the FR3. I was so annoyed I did not ask them to look up the others. This process should be easier! Oh well...

About a year ago I asked for paint codes. And got the same numbers. I have an older 2014 30 DS with the chocolate colored front

I used the mushroom color code with my local paint shop to paint an extra access panel door. This is what I got from them in the Mushroom color mix.

[adetoro]

Thanks for the info...was the code 338196CARD considered the mushroom color? Also, you never did get a mix for the brown.?

[Technorick]

The CARD color was the mushroom represented by the mix sheet from
My auto body shop lookup for Sickens. Sorry, I didn't need the chocolate brown color so never asked them for the paint mix.

[adetoro]

Thanks for the mushroom mix. If I ever get the chocolate mix, I'll pass it along.

[wzaatar]

Are there any places that you can buy touch up paint or do you need to use the local body shops to get the paint.

[Technorick]

I don't think so. I tried to find a close commercial spray can and found the colors to be quite unique. By the way I called it "Mushroom" but that's not an official color. I don't actually know what FR calls it.
