Got paint codes, looking for supplier of touch up paint

Howdy
I got the paint codes from Airstream and can't find a Dupont source and Sherman Williams Automotive finishes can't find the codes in their database.
Duplicolor search is by car makers so am striking out.
I would appreciate any solutions....
Put a scratch in the red metallic when I got the motor home this year, turning around in my driveway.
Thanks
Ron

Have you just Googled the paint code to see where it might be available. Surprised Airstream can't give you that information.

Give a call to Space Age Auto Paint store in Mesa AZ. As you said it's not auto paint you're trying to duplicate but they have the codes and auto manufacturer books for everything so maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the contact

Thanks for responding.
I have googled with paint codes in various ways and generally got generic ad responses not specific to my request.
Thanks for the paint store lead!
Have a blessed day
Ron

I had same problem.
Space Age could not find it and did best to match from sample, that came out to lite so had to paint all my trim.

It is Sherwin Williams paint

I spoke with Airstream again, and they have no idea whom to speak with at Sherwin Williams, but did confirm it was Sherwin Williams even though the first rep told me Dupont.
This is understandable as many in Customer Service were not there when they built motorhomes.
I will check with Sherwin Williams corporate on Monday and will update this thread.

Found the paint!

I called the Sherwin Williams paint store in Johnson City Tennessee and they were able to pull up the paint codes for the Red Metallic and Beige Metallic - the white code looked different and she will research it and get back to me.

I don't know why the Greenville SC store couldn't do this?

Anyways, I will call the store the day that I am coming through and they will mix the paint for me and have it ready.

Good news for those of us looking for the right touch-up paint!

Yippee

Thanks for letting us all know and glad you got it figured out. You could post the codes here if you'd like and it might be archival information for people who need it
