RAL1026, lovely yellow yellow. More or less the same as Hammerite yellow too, if you ever need to touch up.

Very nice- RAL1026 looks alot 'warmer' there than it does on google images. I might go for RAL1023 (closest match that he has in). Very nice.

Aye, I was actually after 1023 but the coater recommended 1026, said it was a bit weak on flats but would look better on the tubes, the shadowing darkens it up nicely. He was quite right, shame he was **** all use at powdercoating really!

I thought 1026 was luminous/fluro? So like the yellow orange use?

The name's luminous yellow, but in the flesh it was just a high gloss.

Got to be honest, I don't have much faith in the coater man so it's quite possible it's some other colour.

It doesn't look like the illuminous 'sheen' of the google images does it? Thats quite a harsh looking yellow. Whereas yours (could be the light) looks warmer and closer to my ral.

Hora, I'm local and looking for ral 1026. Was about to drop it to somewhere I used down south, but from what you are saying, he doesn't have any in?

I'm going to give this place a try I think!

Good timing with the thread mate!!

Comparing it with screenshots it did look very similiar when you were looking at a flat, well lit piece. But o'course screenshots don't always capture finish right, the original colours I picked out for the motorbike were nothing like.

I'm a few miles south of stockport, but pass up through lancs a lot, if there's a decent one in/near Bury. Could always pop in the markets for some Xmas nuts and black pudding.

Ta Hora.
