I'm getting a front bumper and roof rack made for my D2 and the company needs a RAL code for the paint.
I have a 737 Zambezi Silver 2003 D2 TD5. pic -> http://i.imgur.com/zMFtYqq.jpg

The company didn't find this listing any help as they play around with RAL codes only as they are a machining shop and they mainly just do black on the offroad stuff.

Have been googling around and haven't found it yet, anyone got some codes to share?

 

I gave 737 to my paint shop and they were able to match it.

They are a senour martin supplier.

I would recommend finding someone else to paint it, if they can't search up a Rover paint code.

 

Issue is not the looking up the correct colour in the car paint selection, but to match it from RAL. As I said, they paint for industry, not cars.
9006 is a bit on the dark side, 7035 still too gray and 9018 I didn't have a sample of at work.
9006 is a match for Zambezi for only for ~91,3% according to a paint camera I managed to get access to just now.

So, gotta go to see a painter today to get a quote if I just get the parts in base and paint them locally using a proper car painter.

 

roof rack and bumper would look better in black to be honest. is there a reason you don't want that?

 

I've seen a few with body colour bumpers and liked it (maybe a bit more "stock" look IMO), the rack paint is just extra as the whole paint by the manufacturer was dirt cheap compared to the stock matte black. Way less than 100 usd to choose my own color from the 4 digit RAL chart, and that included paint for both.

I went to a painter who does a lot for the place I work, and with a friendly price to paint to match the truck, it was "an arm and a leg" and I know that was a good decent price and the quality would be excellent. Luckily he just happened to have a piece with 9006 fresh in the oven, and comparing it to the truck, it was nearly spot on.

I talked about taking the parts in base, powder zinc, and painting locally. But because of the price etc, ditched that for now.

So I now went with the RAL9006 and took a gamble, I can allways "rattlecan" or other these to black if I don't like them.
It's now just about the paint quality, as the shade (and sparkel size) differs between manufacturers are clear, albeit there should be none.

And yeah, will definately post pics when the parts arrive in some 3-4 weeks or so.

 

An update, as promised, about the colour.

Unfortunately the RAL9006 used in Poland was a bust compared to the Teknos brand used here in Finland, so, off to a paint shop for the rack and bumper. Or I'll just rattle can them my self to "something" but NOT black.

The bumper.


The rack, not yet assembled.


And the legs for the rack.


It seems that I have played too much with legos and it affects my sorting of parts.


How much are they You might think?
Two grand. It would have been around 300 cheaper if I would have ordered these directly from Poland, but I wanted to use a retailer in my country.
That includes the items, shipping and my selection of RAL four digit paint.

Few extra pics of the bumper and parts as links not to blow up too much.
