Paint code....

I am trying to find a paint code (RAL or BS) for the burgandy used on the platform and seat frames. I have tried all over the place, can get colour references but not sign of RAL or BS codes..... If anyone can help it would be great...

Gerry.

I think the answer lies back where you asked the question before. Try http://www.network54.com/Forum/396693/thread/1148716181/last-1160999576/Burgundy+paint
In that thread it appears to give names of suppliers etc. Unfortunately the ROOF site paint section omits an FLT number for burgundy paint. If you have a sample a lot of people go to their nearest paint mixing shop like Homebase etc

My bus number (if any): RTL 960

"The professional shade cards to match the staircase burgundy the shade of which I assume to be correct.The cards are available from Johnstones outlets (01924 354100 for your nearest) or card number 25G,shade number S6030-R is a perfect match.The shade number is accepted by all computerised mixing machines,for all makes of paint,including coachpaint."
