Title: Suzuki colour code to RAL colour
Post by: max on May 15, 2018, 12:31:10 PM
I've got a new (used), centre-stand and some other parts that I plan on having powder coated to match my bike's stock colouring.

It's a black 2006 GS500E, so from some research the Suzuki colour name and code for this is "Saturn Black", Y7L.

As the powder coating company only does RAL colours, does anyone know what the closest equivalent is?

I think you will find its only the bodywork that is painted in Saturn black. The stand will be a plain old gloss black.

Completely agree, but it's likely that I'll be getting the swingarm done too at a later date so I'd like to have it all matching if possible.

It'd be easy if I was just choosing a completely new colour scheme, so I might just order some colour swatches to see which is closest to the frame's colour.
