On my 2015 Challenger they were on a label on the back of a kitchen cabinet door. Also listed the vendor that painted the coach. On my current rig the label is on the driver’s door jamb

Inside a bedroom closet door in my Aria were the paint codes for an 18 Challenger. You might start checking all the Arias in your area. A call to Thor got me the codes for my unit.

When we bought our Challenger we go a kit that had a small amount of all 4 colors. With the Accolade we got the same type kit but will more paint in the bottles.

It depends on the year of the coach. Thor MC did not paint coaches before 2018, but had a local paint shop do all the full and partial paint jobs. The paint shop affixed all paint the codes for all paint used on each coach, usually in the bed room closet. To my knowledge, Thor MC never kept the older paint codes, but only the color descriptions. The last couple years Thor MC has used its new paint shop where they have full control of what goes on each particular coach. As of this summer, Entegra was still sending their coaches out for paint.

I guess I got lucky. I got a bag of small paint bottles when I bought ours. Previous owner said they came with when he bought. I hope we never need to use them.

You can go to any good paint shop and have them shoot your rig with a paint code camera. You are probably dealing with a gel coat on your rig. The paint code will get you close.

I have 2017 THOR AXIS 25.4, I called Thor for the color code and their customer service said they do not use color codes, he told me my color was Champagne and its a gel coat, I said well you got to have a color code for the gel coat and he said we do not use color codes for gel coat and so I said well what do you do when a coach is damaged during build? you got to touch them up and need a color code and his answer was once again its gel coat and we do not have misshaps , I am getting a little fed up with this guy and hit him with this, the bumpers are made of metal and they are painted so what do you use for a color code to match the paint and same answer, we do not use color codes and I said well how do you spec out the color and he said we do not use color codes so I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said no and hung up on me.

The OP asked for the codes for a Challenger. Challenger is full body paint and not color tinted gel coat with vinyl graphics like the Axis or other models. There should be approx 4 color codes for Sikkens paint for the OP’s coach.

My 2017 came with small touch up bottles of all 4 colors. Unfortunately, since the coach sat in the hot Arizona heat for several months all the small bottles had dried up. The paint can be purchased at automotive paint vendors if you have the info on your coach (year, manufacturer, paint scheme). I went to a Sherwin Williams Automotive paint store in AZ to get new touch up paint made and they were able to get the formulas from their database. Now each of my bottles has the formula printed on the label. One interesting issue for California RV owners like me is that you can only get water based paint at California paint stores. Since water based formulas might not match the lacquer colors then you’ll need to go out of state to purchase your paint.
