With that model the front/rear caps will be gelcoat, the sides are filon, a form of fiberglass & neither came from the factory painted, it's blended in the material. There are only a few companies in Indiana that paint all of the "painted" rvs/motorhomes & If they started painting smaller rvs they'd probably never sell them the increased cost would a big deterrent. If you bought the rv used the previous owner may have had the caps painted under warranty due to severe fading, but the dealer did not do the painting, they are not equipped to do an occasional paint job, but left that job to a local body shop & they either get the paint from a automotive paint vendor, auto parts store or in most cases custom mix their own on site.
As I said take a sample, or the rv, to one of those places & they can ccustom mix up some paint for you. It's just like home improvement stores, take a sample in, they put in the computer & formula is set.
All this is useless if yours has aluminum sides.
