DYNASTY 2006 EXTERIOR & INTERIOR CARE — SECTION 3 • 87
Paint Codes
The motorhome color scheme is comprised of specifi c paint colors, each assigned a code used to achieve a
desired color of paint. “Touch-up” paint may be used to repair a small scratch or imperfection in the paint surface.
Larger areas may require using the paint code to get the correct color match.
To Obtain the Paint Code:
1. Contact
National Parts
at
1-877-466-6226
.
2. Specify the year, model, serial number and exterior color scheme name (if known).
3. Once the paint code has been obtained for the desired color, contact
Industrial Finishes
at
1-800-531-1305
. They will use the paint code to get the mixing formula.
4. This formula can be mixed at a local BASF paint store.
NOTE:
All special paint schemes require contacting Monaco Coach directly for paint codes.
Tire Care
Road oil will cause deterioration of the rubber. Dirt build-up can trap chemicals next to the tire and cause
deterioration.
Proper care and methods in cleaning must be used to obtain the maximum service years out of the tires. Use
a soft brush and a mild detergent to clean the tires. If a dressing product is used to “protect” the tires from aging,
use extra care and caution. Tire dressings that contain petroleum products or alcohol may cause deterioration or
cracking.
In many cases it is not the dressing that causes a problem but the chemical reaction that subsequently occurs.
When these same dressing products are used on a passenger car tire that is replaced every three to four years, it
is rare to see a major problem. However, in most cases recreational vehicle tires may last longer due to limited
annual mileage and exposure.
Wheels - Coated Aluminum
Inside:
If the tires are removed, inspect and clean the entire rim. Air used to fi ll the tire may contain moisture and can
cause the areas of the wheel under the tire to severely corrode. Using a soft brush, remove any foreign materials
from the tire side of the rim. Lubricate the rim and tire bead with a non-water-based lubricant before mounting the
tire and ensure the inside of tire is dry before installing.
WARNING:
DO NOT use a flammable solution to coat the inside of the rim. This can lead to an explosion
during tire inflation or in subsequent operation of the motorhome.
