Title: Ral numbers
Post by: ferry554 on May 19, 2010, 11:08:14 PM
Hey friends

Does anybody knows where i can find these numbers.
I have a 620 ie dark and i want to spray the engine block.
The paint is flaking of....  damage from salt. :'(
And do i need heat-proof paint??

Who can save me from this burning question?

RAL is only available in Europe AFAIK.

I don't believe Ducati necessarily uses that for engine paint. They just use a cheap engine enamel.

I use automotive 2K urethanes in single stage formulas for engines and have had good results.

Thanx duckpainter!

I am almost done wit sandblasting the block.
Then it s time to put some color on it,  think that i will go to a paintshop near by to copy the color.
Thought it maybe better to have the exact numbers, but it s a pretty good approach to copy them i guess.  Already thought it didn t had to be heat-proof paint, the cilinder etc doesn t get that hot.

Thanks again and wish me luck
