What's the alternative to RAL color codes

[biker for life]

Hi all,

I've tried to search this on Google and on the forum, but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

For my new cafe bike I'm looking at the possible paint options and the colors to use. I went to this car supply shop and he told me that if my preferred color was not available as a RAL color (which is limited to about 210 different colors) I could give him the color code and he could make this color for me. But when I try to find the colors online, it seems like you always have to use the original color code from the car/bike.

Does any of you know where you can find an overview of the possible colors and their specific color codes? I could also just make up a color and have it scanned, but if I would need to repaint in the future it could be better to have an axisting color code available...

Any advice?

Thanks!

By the way, I'm looking for a variation to RAL 6033 and RAL 8003

;D

I'm confused. Do you want RAL 6033 and 8003? What type of product are you looking for? Paint in a spray can, powdercoat, automotive paint?

I'm not looking for a combination between RAL 6033 and RAL 8003, but for variations. The auto shop is capable of mixing any color I want and put them in a rattle can, but I want to see what the different color codes are. If I would need an additional can or a respray in the future, I can use the exact same color

Im a little confused about your question too...but here's the whole RAL color chart: http://www.ralcolor.com/

If what you're looking for isnt on there, then I would imagine you're looking at a totally custom mixed color. When you say variation, are you meaning minor tweaks in shade and such?

RAL colors don't have a paint code like most automotive paints. RAL are always solid, more pastel colors and don't include any metallics or Candies or anything like that.
