Ah. Not sure my man can work with that . Is there a ral equivalent ? Should I reach for the Pantone ?

That did make me laugh :lol:
It's not that I'm relaxed about mine, just given up.. more concerned about bubbling paintwork than wheels being the right shade.. :D

Pantone won't be much more useful than a VW paint code, in fact it won't even be as much use!

Its best to avoid RAL when having wheels refurbed and choose a colour from the samples from whoever you are using.
