RAL number for Blue Drab

Post by Daren » Sun Sep 24, 2017 12:40 pm

Hi all, does anyone know a suitable RAL number for the Blue Drab paint used on hood numbers from the factory? I am finding it tricky to find it here in the UK so if I could get a similar RAL I could get my paint shop to mix me a rattle can?

RAL 5014 dove grey; those numbers weren't actually blue but blueish grey. Make sure you get matte finish, no gloss at all.
