hey all, i have a few bits i need to touch up on the car especially the bonnet, i have the yellow locost bodywork from GTS and have been told it mite be RAL1004? is this correct? anyway where would be the best place to get it from? also would a paint supplier be able to match it in 2k so could get the bonnet sprayed? would like to get it tidy for the sva.

thanks

rob

Here is the RAL COLOUR CHART for you to see for yourself!

When I was choosing my colour, I was told that the colours on the chart appear slightly brighter and slightly lighter in real life, so it's not a perfect way for you to match it but it might give you a bit of a clue?

ye just looked and 1004 looks really dark, thanks for the link btw

Rob

If you send a sample off to West & Senior, they'll colour match it for you....

I think I might get a spare set of bodywork made in 'Curry' - not!

My VortX is Signal Yellow which going by that chart is 1003

To answer the second question, if you take a part along to a decent paint supplier, yes - they should be able to colour match it for you.

GTS use a "Golden Yellow" which doesn't appear to be on that list. If you call him (don'y laugh) then mabe he would pop a drop of pigment in the post to you?

golden yellow is 1004 just below signal yellow. think i will try and get a paint supplier to match it up,

thanks

Before you do Rob i had a thought, They only started using Golden yellow about 18 months to 2 years ago, got your bodywork prior to this then it may be a different shade. I don't know what exact colour it was before the Golden Yellow.

hey scott, think i got my bodywork about 2year ago. my boss had some ral colour tab things and tbh my gelcoat is more signal yellow than golden yellow.
golden yellow appears more goldie funnily enough. i will be giving the paint supplier a piece of bodywork so they can pick the correct one. but pretty sure its more signal yellow which is 1003

thanks
