Got home from a trip today, and while washing my 2015 Durango 295 noticed what i think is a small crack in the surface of the fiberglass high up on the small bedroom slide. I haven't looked at it closely yet, but, if it is a small crack and I can fix it, does anyone know where i can get touch up spray to match? I admit I haven't checked anywhere yet, but figured this would be the best first place to start. color is that khaki/tan/beige color that a lot of campers that year(s) are. I have quite a bit of experience in body/paint/fiberglass repair.

The colors not paint but the Luan color, I would check with a place mixes colors to match. Might try color chips from Walmart or a hardware store to get something close, them have paint mixed to match. I think auto parts places can now get the colors mixed and into spray cans. Very few RV's have full paint, most are the fiberglass color with vinyl decals.

I have quite a bit of experience in body/paint/fiberglass repair. I know that here, in Mesa, there's a very high-end paint shop and they have (or at least had) a "mobile" color matching machine that they can actually take out to do the paint match. Can make up very small batches and, if you like, even put it in a rattle can for you. :-) Lyle |

Thanks Lyle, I actually got a chance to get up on the ladder and take a good look at the crack, worked on it with my pocket knife and turned it into a "groove". found a product called MagicEzy gelcoat chip repair at CW and then found it on Amazon in what i hope are right colors to mix (halfway between oyster white and cream). I will try to take photos and update after repair, in case any one else needs this fix.

I would also be very interested in seeing pictures of the repair when you're done. I don't have any chips/cracks in mine but I know it's likely only a matter of time.

Find a local automotive paint distributor who has a color reading camera. They should get something close easily.
