cabinet latches for 73 Argosy

I'm looking for cabinet latches for our 73 Argosy. I also need the ones that go on the pull downs under the beds. Also, does anyone know where to purchase paint for that year?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Any auto paint supply stre will be able to mix the colors, the paint orginally was DuPont Imron.
The cabinet latches are still available from Airstream, Airstream dealers, and Inland RV. The only ones that are NLA are the white ones in the bathroom, and the brown ones can be substituted, they just look a bit odd on the white doors.

Thanks, i'll try those. Do I just give them the model #. They're the brown plastic ones. Also I read on another site that the Imron paint wasn't the best to use. It interacts with the galvanized parts.

That's probably why the galvanised end caps are all peeling...

I'm sorry, I meant the Imron interacts with the aluminum. That's why Boeing quit using that paint. But, they did say that since the end caps were galvanized, Dupont Veriprim would work as it works on both the galvanized and aluminum. Your bottom paint looks darker than the 73 model, do you know the color for the 73? Does your dog camp with you?
