really?/ never heard that before? I had two compartment doors redone
The way the graphics went there was 3 colours involved;; the local body/paint shop matched them perfectly by the spectrum system
I was very impressed cost me $600 cash to get them done
Speak with a painter and he will know. I've painted everything from Classic cars to airplanes and large trucks and the paint mix for my Monaco coach calls for a medium iridescent and a FLOP Control of 1.7 on one color. On another color, there is a medium iridescent and a Flop control of 3.9.
The internet is there to educate those that want to learn. FLOP CONTROL
that very could be all I said was I had never heard of it and the painter was able to paint my 2 doors to a perfect match by ordinary means; your reference is if one wants a "metallic Flake" paint job all my MH just have the regular type base/clear coat colours as most all motor home do ;
I guess Monaco just used high quality metallic base coat clear coat paint on their coaches, like most automobiles use the days.
Unless you were there while your painter was mixing the paint, you would never know what was in the formula, especially if he bought the paint already mixed from the supplier. Then all he had to do was thin it and spray it.

Hey downtheroad,
What color will they come up with if the paint is a little faded and they want the original color ?
