Ok, so I am mid winter modding and am starting the body work.
I thought I would give RAW a call to get a touch up pen.
They dont do one so I need to contact the GRP supplier.
They dont do paint on Gel coat.
They sold their paint company end to sombody else.
I contact them and they only do 50 gallon minimal orders.
I have no RAL code and nothing other than a specific olour code called Bright Blue 3959.

HELP ME!!!!!

PS: Its a RAW Striker in blue.
I had one chip on my scuttle so I got hold of some clear gel coat and rang LR to see if they would send me a sample of the pigment for the gel coat. They sent me enough to colour enough gel to build several powerboats! I mixed up the gel with pigment and hardner, dabbed it in the chip and covered it with clear tape to seal it. Waited for it to cure. Removed tape, wet & dry'd it and polished it. Robert's your mother's brother!
For the sake of a minor touch up, just take a front wing off, then go in to halfords and pick out the closest.
Check these guys out they list that colour
Linkydinky
Try the Halfords colour matching service...
Or a *good* local paint supplier should have a "colourometer" (can't remember the exact term) to match the colour...just take the wing
down with you
Also worth trying... www.qpaints.co.uk
just go to a branch of bsb and they will get the colour charts out to match it up
or andrews auto panels in gillingham can make you up a custom tough up kit for a couple of quid.
