Painting my pop top

Post by blakeys80 »

Im about to order some Rustoleum combi colour, to start painting the body of the van, so thought I'd buy the white for the pop top too. I know someones probably already done this, so which white should I go for to get a similar finish to the original?
The RAL number would be really helpful should anyone know.

Cheers folks!

Thanks for the reply James, the conversion is by TECA,(attempted a photo attachment) with a full length vertical lift roof.
The interior looks a little like a westfalia, and is assuan brown, it's original paint colour.
Its ex British Army recriation vehicle, which came over from Germany.
Ive just discovered the Rustoleum direct shop isn't too far from me, and reading there web site it says combi colour is for use on metal, fibreglass and wood, I know what you mean about flexing though, and am thinking the same, but I believe the paint is somewhat flexible aswell.
Looking at the colour chart for the white, I think RAL 9016 may be a good bet.
