I have finally taken the bull by the horns. I have sanded down the front cap almost to fiberglass. The peeling clear coat was making a mess and looking terrible.
After searching this forum, I’ve searched under the hood to find the paint codes and have found a sticker that no longer has any print on it. I’m assuming that was the documentation.
I need to get the paint codes so that I can recover my poor naked front cap. I have called the main phone number at PC only to get a voicemail (I left info) and I have emailed the technical support email listed under contacts here. Still no response. Am I being impatient to hear back? How long did it take for your PC inquiries to get responses?
Help!

The paint codes are on the driver's door near the VIN and tire pressure stickers.
-
If not, Carol can get them for you along with a legend of what color goes where.
-
Thanks, I saw that label too.. Unfortunately, It is also illegible.
Ill try Carol tomorrow!

Have both of your VINs handy when Carol calls. She will likely ask for one of the two.

By both, I assume that you mean the RVIA# also?

That is not what I was thinking. My PC has a long VIN number similar to the chassis VIN. I want to say it is labelled in the driver door.

Everyone is correct! Carol is TRUELY awesome! I called today and left all pertinent info and had an email back tome within a couple hours responding that she is off for the next couple of days.... She contacted the office and got the info from someone else then forwarded me my info!!!
ABOVE AND BEYOND!! TALK ABOUT DEDICATION!!
heartshower :-D (cheer)

I need to get a small bottle of touch up paint. I called the service department and got the paint code needed. I called automotivetouchup.com to see if they could provide me with a bottle of touch up paint. They said that they could not find anything that was a match. The color is Desert Sand and the code is 314A3. Does anyone know where I can get a match?

Call the factory, they can lookup the exact information based on your VIN

I totally agree with Don & Patti. But be prepared for the original vehicle for the paint to be a surprise. The green on my 2900D is from a 2003 Nissan Infiniti. Lol :-D nice color, but not what I was expecting. Once I had the color code Google listed several places that sell a small bottle of paint.

I did get the paint codes from the service department but I can’t find anyplace that has a match for the code they gave me. Any suggestions? Maybe I was given the incorrect paint code but Keith looked it up to make sure that he was giving me the correct code. Does anyone know who does the painting of the vehicles . Mine is a 2015 and doesn’t have the full body paint, only the paint at the bottom.
-
I just found the sticker on the drivers door that has the custom paint code and the one I was given is correct. Now I just need to find someplace that can mix it to match.
-
Again, call Phoenix, talk to Dave Ponser. If nothing else, he can give you the name of the shop that does the actual painting. You (or Dave) can call the shop and get the exact information brand/type/color that they use to paint Phoenix Cruisers "Desert Sand" color.
-
Thank you! I will give Dave a call.

I just checked a group of memos I have, the color codes(as least in 2015) that Phoenix used were Sikkens codes. My 2015-2551 is 355G2 which is "Nightshade"

Sharon,
What did you finally figure out? I have the same model and paint as yours.
I need to do some touch up.
Safe travels,
Stan

Spoke to Dave and he couldn’t help. He advised me to go to an auto paint shop to have them match the color. I thought that I had the right paint code and got a small bottle of paint at a local automotive store but it was too dark. I’ve been out if state for a few weeks and not in the coach 😩 so I don’t have that info with me. If you find the codes please let me know. My search will continue when I get back home.
-
Dave said my unit paint code is Sikens 314A3. (For Desert Sant)
However, I searched for this combo and got exactly nowhere... the quest continues.

I'm having the same issue with paint codes. So far the color codes I got from Dave Ponzler can't be matched. They seem to be a unique PC color codes (358E5, 359A3,358G5). Even the original Elkhart based S & S Auto, that supposedly painted PC coaches couldn't match these colors to send me a touchup kit. But I can add some info to this post.
On my PC the original paint was manufactured by Sikkens. Sikkens RV paint now seems to go by the name of AkzoNobel Sikkens, a European company that bought them out. It can get very confusing because Sikkens paint is very similar to PPG? In 2017 PPG changed and transitioned the name of Sikkens for some of their products????
I've seen on other RV websites that owner's have taken off their outside Frig covers and have had successful touchup paint matches. I did take my PC in for a paint match. However only one of the three colors were a successful match.
But I'll keep trying and if I get a place that can match the PC color codes I'll post it. And if anyone can help me out it would be appreciated.

Here are the two different touch up paints I got and neither is a match: light autumn wood metallic B/C 55/WA228A which I got from ColorRite Dist. East and Dupli-Color Desert Sand Mica ATY 1610 which is a Toyota color 402 which I got at a local automotive store. If anyone is successful in matching please post.
Thanks
Sharon
