What colour is my Hymer? (1 Viewer)

[pandas]

For the sake of £15 to try the renovator and a 5 minute test to see if it’s worth while I would give it a go, made a massive difference to the discoloured/dull gel coat sections on mine.

Yes I will thank you.

Yes it is GRP, ours is the same van and at just over 3 yrs old it’s yellowing all ready I did a clean up with 3m gel coat restorer but it hasn’t got all the yellowing out and you need to be careful not to rub down to far I then gave it a polish with Autoglym resin polish then a coat of colonite wax

I didn’t think autoglym resin polish was good for grp, the aluminium bits yes but not the grp?

You may be correct I have not really researched what polish is best on GRP

The Vin plate will identify the actual vehicle and from there you can get the paint spec - however the grp panels surrounding it will have changed colour slightly even after a couple of years so best to have it analysed.

I think the VIN relates to the Fiat/mercedes side of things,on ours there is a plate on the outside with Hymer build number that is what you need, however ours is quoted as Carrara white and doesn’t match ours at all

Think the white is bad ?

Then you should have the Champagne colour, the UV degradation is bad, I had a small bump on front corner and needed a respray. The body shop checked all over the van and came up with 4 different colour codes. He rubbed down the afflicted panel and decided he had to re spray all of the panel due to paint degradation. he said he'd not seen anything that bad.

Our local motor factors, Bolsover M1 J29a, so not a very long distance from you, match paint by comparing colour cards then mix to match

I would guess others do the same, ours is called Auto Supplies if that helps
