Hi
I would like a colour match/ RAL number for the car in the photograph. If anyone owns and or knows the colour code I would appreciate.

Thanks

Howard

In the absence of any other replies Howard, RAL isn't good at prewar creams (or blues) in my opinion.
There were few pigments that worked well in sunlight in 1932, and Prussian blue was one of them. I would therefore go with a BS match for Oxford Blue, although RAL 4546 isn't bad.
Get a swatch and compare in daylight, not artificial light, especially LED!

Hi John

Thank you for the reply RAL 4546 is on my my list. I’ve just made 3 swatches and still agonising on the colour. Rebuilding the car was much simpler.

Thanks

Howard
