Hi all, i'm really determined to make my mini this colour, i have been trying to researching the RAL number for this type of Dark Grey, but i can't make up my mind whether it is 7013, 8022 or maybe it's neither ?? Just asking for any professional advice on what the correct RAL number for this shade of Grey it would be.  Mini with Super Trax with sticker.jpg   85.54K   35 downloads

take it (car or photo) to a paint shop. they can give you a colour match

That looks photo shopped.. Go to a paint suppliers and have a look through their chips, there will be hundreds of greys which match that pretty closely.

At a guess looks like 7018 anthracite grey, only know as i spray paint alot of conservatory roofs that colour!!!

It is a photo shop of my mini yes, i wanted to see if all of the exterior parts i want will look good together. I think i will take this on board and see what they say, thanks!

Use RAL colours everyday in the Architectural Aluminium industry, 7000's are the grey's. Type RAL colourchart into google it should bring something up. 8000's are brown so your photo is not one of them.

Hi ian.... Just at work and 7016 and 7021 look pretty close too, its hard to tell on the photo how dark it actually is.... 7021 is really dark grey almost black

Yeah i think i'm going to be going with 7018, and if it's too light, then i will be adding some black to the mixture
