My question is where to get the paint, and how to tell them to mix it... My local Lowes had no idea what RAL 7031 was....

Are you from USA? I found something in the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAL_%28...pace_system%29

From there I found the distributor of RAL charts for north america: https://www.dorncolor.com/RAL.aspx

I hope that helps.

Satin is between a Matt and a Gloss, not shiny but not matt, just inbetween! It's a nice finish. Matt is best, Gloss is a no no with panels!

These paints are great for small panels.....

Pretty damn close if you ask me!

This is RAL7031:

[Leo Bodnar]

RGB value does not really apply to paints because RGB is additive colour system and paints and pigments are all subtractive substances (apart from luminescent ones.)

Other popular colour systems are Pantone and NCS - there are conversion tables from RAL.
I have been involved in a lot of colour work at my previous working place - I still have a spectrophotometer here so if you need a spectral diagram of specific paint - you are welcome!

A lot of "home improvement" stores and car paint shops can mix paint against your sample - will this be of any help?

This is a good thread.... I think we need to develop a chart for the A320 with all of the various colors used in the cockpit. I am ready to paint my production glare panels and will doing pedestal panels next.
