RAL colours

I am thinking of spraying some of the black trim to match or contrast the red seats (LAT5) in the Z4. I have a cracked window pillar (heavy handed fitting a dashcam) that I will repair and practice on.

I don't think seat colour codes match paint codes, but anyway l came across the wiki page for RAL codes, so I thought I'd share it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAL_colors

I am thinking Dream Red Oregon matches RAL 3002 but there might be problems with how the colour is rendered on a digital screen (colour space) but still it should be reasonably close.

You can also buy the physical fan books on the web e.g.

i cant imagine it looking very good tbh. I think it is likely to look tacky no matter what colour you choose.

Black will always look best.

You don't have to imagine BMW and others did it for you 😁
