Need Touch up paint

clinck

the plastic cover over the battery and the Propane tank has suffered some road rash and the paint is flaking off the cover. Does anyone know if I can buy the yellow paint, maybe in aerosol form to lightly re-spray those areas that are affected.

I would send Ed at NuCamp a email and ask if they have touch up paint or can tell you where to look for it. If not, take a sample to your local paint center and see if they can match it. Getting a plastic compatible paint in the right color may be a problem.

Search here for Krylon paint.  Dale Helman reported that it is available at Home Depot.

The Krylon was for the outside skin.  Not sure if it will work for the plastic trim on our Tabs.

@SAM, @clinck, I'm pretty sure is lookin' for the yellow tub paint, not the silver/gray.
@clinck, 'ya might wanna try Elsie in parts as well. She's REALLY good at trackin' stuff down!

@clinck - contact Elsie in Parts. You can order the paint (I recently got some) -- if you don't want to try elsewhere. 

Sharon_is_SAM

Yes.  The factory has it.

@clinck, That's EXACTLY what the folks are here for.........and maybe a bit of good-natured ribbin' once in awhile! Smile! You're on T@Bbavision!

One caveat for touch-up paint of any kind. There might be a color mismatch due to sun, age, etc on the original equipment. If it were me, I'd prep the entire bin and do a full paint job (which is prob what you were going to do anyhow!).

Unit has been kept indoors..  Think that I would be fine spot painting. But if not, then a repaint is the next step.

Called Elsie today..no response..
found out that there's a wedding ceremony today for an employee and everyone is busy with the celebrations. 
What a great company that celebrates life and marriage and family over business. 
Just another reason why supporting this company is patriotic and worthy of the American way!

@clinck send an email to elsie@nucamprv.com with a photo of your T@B and year of the T@B.  She'll get back to you as quickly as she can. 

Yes, it is a very close-knit factory of friends.

I emailed her this morning..lets see if she can help with the paint issue.

They came back with a 12oz. Can(s) of aerosol for $63.00 bucks.

@clinck, You'll find Elsie the MOST helpful parts/customer service person you have EVER dealt with! Just give her a chance, she'll get back to you. After all, look how many of US there are, and how many of HER there are!

Actually a sweet lady named Whitney worked with me. paint was very expensive and a new shroud would be almost $400.00 bucks which includes the $135.00 in freight. Not sure what I will do. At this point, I need other stuff first. I just ordered a cover, for instance.
