Title: RAL 2043 Equivalent Paint
Post by: murdoughnut on February 17, 2020, 07:22:59 AM
Possibly a long shot, but anyone find a paint in the States that matches RAL 7043 (Opencockpits' version of Boeing Gray)?  US hardware stores can't produce a paint based off of RAL colors.  I don't have a section of panel large enough to paint match at the moment.  Thanks!

For patch up jobs I use scale model paint in spray.
Tamiya Gunship grey2
Close enough for me.
Even with one square inch sample, local stores should be able to computer match

Thanks - will be painting an MIP, so I might just buy an OC panel with enough coloring to get it tested.
