RAL code for Simoniz

[moizeau]

I've sprayed a few small frame parts with Simoniz Tough Satin Black but would like to spray the frame with a spray gun. I've contacted Holts and asked them if they have a RAL code for the paint and they've replied saying it is not RAL matched and suggested I do a sample with the spray gun and have a look. Fair enough, but I don't want to buy some paint to find it's miles away. Has anyone done an unofficial RAL check on the Simoniz paint?
Cheers

Good morning Pete

if you're talking about the black paint, I can tell you that the RAL number is 9005. I use the 80 % gloss for the frame and frame parts.
I have no idea how much % gloss the Simoniz is. If you use a gloss paint keep in mind that the initial gloss gets a bit duller when the paint is really dry after a few weeks.
Use a two component epoxy paint (paint and hardener) and preferably a paint that can be applied straight to the bare metal (DTM).
If you want to use that paint, here's a link to a shop in Ostend (Belgium):

I have no idea if they ship the paint to France.
Good luck!

Thanks Philippe, I'll have a closer look. It seems they do supply to France but their online purchase page doesn't seem to be working at the moment. If it turns out they don't, no problem, I have Belgian friends who come here often.
Cheers
