We had to perform a small amount of body work and have one panel
repainted on our '88 WB40. Pulled the paint code from the plate
mounted in the engine compartment and found out the code didn't match
the body paint color. If you're doing any body painting(on your coach,
not otherwise) I would double check the codes and color before
painting. A minor lesson learned for me.

Yeah, I hear you. We had our coach repainted and chose official
Bluebird colors. Dark Rose, Light Rose and Indian Silver... Looks
great, but now I wish, (since we repainted the whole thing), that I
had of chosen stock auto colors similar to the BB colors..
That way, matching spray cans of these colors are avalable at any
Kragen, Pep Boys or Autozone..

Same for me Drew. Of the five colours only one code was correct. I don't
know what gives but this is a common fault that I've heard several others
complain about. I gave up and had my colours shot with one of those paint
cameras. I've got some good touch-up paint now and some numbers that are
reliable.

Just curious. Are your paint colors BASF paint? They would typically be
identified by a 5 digit number. ie. 81735 is a rose tone. 79773 is Silver.

No, they began with letters and I thought the code started with LF.

I have been on the road this weekend.
I have a can of Indian Silver Met in front of me. R-M Diamont manufactured by
BASF a German Corp. Code 79773 My Rose metallic also has a 5 digit code. No
letters. Don't want to bother you just wondering. I have seen several posts
about paint problems. It took me awhile but I figured it out. Base coat clear
coat is really not that difficult to work with.
