What paint code is my car????
Hello all, as you may know my bro in law stuffed my car into the tyre wall at a trackday and am looking to have a go at repairing the nosecone as not
too bad. The question is what is the correct colour paint, and can I get it from Halfords etc...
Here is the car (MK Blue) in this thread:

Thanks

The problem with the fibreglass RAL colours is that they are different from the paint RAL colours I have the same problem, except I have a blue nose
cone, but, need a yellow one.

RAL isn't a make of paint, it's the colour code of the paint, so you can have a batch made up at any factors. The RAL code of fibre glass
is the colour of the gelcoat, but the codes don't correspond with the paint codes

I managed to get a litre from an ebay shop,cost just over 20 quid when i got mine which is not bad for cellulose.
As a search i just put in "RAL 5022 night blue"

Thanks for the help, but I do not have a spray gun so wonder if there is anywhere that does them in aerosol form??
