RAL3004

Post by -steves- » Wed Jul 19, 2023 11:44 am

I am looking to airbrush a loco in RAL3004 paint. I am struggling to find a supplier of paint in airbrush acrylic in small quantities without paying through the nose for it. Any ideas anyone?

When my Roundhouse Karen ran away and derailed, I needed a touch-up for the FR Victorian Maroon.
I found Volvo RAL 3004 was an exact match, although this was in a brush-on jar.
I would imagine automotive finishers would have access to sprayable types.

Locally we have an automotive finish supplier who can mix a huge range of colours and supply them in an aerosol can while you wait. I have used them before and they work faultlessly.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Not sure it will be of any use to anyone, but I have found that Vallejero do Violet Red which is the same code as RAL3004 but for them the code is VAL70812 (70.812). I managed to pick up 3 bottles of this for less than £10 posted which I can directly airbrush straight out the bottle.

Many thanks to those who came up with other optins :thumbup:
