Steelies off for a refurb and I would like the correct silver. What's the ral code ? Cheers

L091 was the code Simon gave me recently

Nice

That's not a ral code, it's a vw code.

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

i just asked for silver..

I am not quite as relaxed about the panel van as you are with yours Lloyd

just show them a picture of lloyds wheels and say "just not quite like that"

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

Pantone won't be much more useful than a VW paint code, in fact it won't even be as much use!
How'bout a RAL swatch book: http://www.ralcolor.com/order.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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