Spray paint

RAL colour spray paints are the products, which conform to the colour standard, developed by RAL German Quality and Certification Institute (Reichsausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung, RAL) in 1927. Each colour in this standard is marked with a numerical code. Standardization allows to easily identify and order needed colours, including ordering in online shops.

Types of RAL colour spray paints

RAL assortment includes metallic paints with a specific pearlescent tint as well as solid colours. The samples are offered in matte and glossy versions. Separate palettes of yellow, grey, green, red, blue, brown, orange, white and black, violet tints are also provided in the collections. There are also special-purpose collections. For example, RAL F9 is offered for application of a camouflage coating; while RAL Plastics – for painting of plastic surfaces.

Composition

Various substances can be the paint basis. For instance, synthetic resins, acryl, alkyd lacquer. The composition can also include hardeners or additional components, which improve adhesion and other properties of the products, propellants.

Tips for choosing a RAL colour spray paint

If you need to purchase the same paint, which your car is painted in, from the RAL catalogue, be guided by the colour code. Usually, it is specified in the car technical documentation or on the car parts – most often on the lid of the bonnet or luggage compartment, fuel tank lid, on the door aperture or the door itself. In order to avoid inaccuracy, you can consult with a colour matcher, providing him a car paint sample.

If you want to paint your car or its separate elements in other colour, select the appropriate tint from the RAL original catalogue. It is not recommended to choose a colour online: palette tints on a display will be different from real ones.
