Paint

Post by dub1670 »

Evening all. I know that there's a wiki on here about roller painting van however I've just ordered some combi colour strawberry red RAL 3018 but is more salmon than red. Just wondering if anyone had done their van with a combi colour which is closer to letter box red and could tell me what the RAL code is please.

Yer stirred it today and shook it to mix it. Even put it on the van to see what it was like when dry. Threaders!

I looked at that colour and it doesn't look to me that it should be more like pillar box red.
3020 looks more like the red you may want.
