RAL Blue Paint code for powdercoat?

[Vulpine2]

Morning All
No, not the light blue (5005?), lovely as it is.
I want to use a darker blue - as per that on the PD tank red/light blue/dark blue tank flash (amongst others).
Done various searches and have narrowed it down using this page https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/blue-hues and am pretty sure which one I'd like to use
That said, I don't have a bike to check against and online colour matching has many variables. Anybody with real world knowledge - especially anybody with a suitable bike - care to chime in?
Constructive input welcome...
Cheers
Rob

Do you mean for powder coating the frame or something else?

 

[Vulpine2]

Yes, for the frame.

That’s the lighter blue, like the frame on this

A picture that illustrates the conundrum ^^^, as the 5017 above looks a slightly different hue to the 5017 on RAL 'color' chart (even using the expanded full screen view).
I'm veering towards either 5002 Ultramarine or the slightly darker 5022 Night Blue...

I'm with you Rob, I'd go 5002 or 5022. If pushed, 5002 would be my choice.

Either will go with your eyes.

On my special I used 5017 on the subframe and Mikeyboy used god knows what on the main frame. The 5017 subframe is obviously lighter in colour and will need redoing. Or it could just be my OCD kicking in. (btw is it just me who needs autocorrect to fuck right off when you’re slightly pissed and trying to type on an iPad)

I think the 'Gods Know What' is closest. Progress is slow - my fault, been rather busy lately (didn't even get out to play when we had all that lovely sunny weather last month. Hope it comes back). Will be speaking to Mike soon in any event. And no, it's not just you...

Busy Summer, mostly being elsewhere but now back on board.
Opted for the 5002 'Ultramarine' which, it turns out, the powder coaters don't keep it in stock. A complete new box is a rather tasty £200 - enough for 2+ bikes so they're checking around to see if anybody has a smaller amount available.
If not, anybody wanna go halves?

Cheers for that. I'll make further enquiries...
