cunpr Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Dear All, This is more of an information call than a question. I searched the archive for posts on what RAL number Bultaco Blue is prior to powder coating my frame. I couldn't find any threads with the answer. Dave Rentham described it as Ford Electric Blue but I couldn't find a RAL number for that either. So for what its worth the coater and I agreed to spray it RAL 5015 which is the nearest blue we could see to it on the day. Hope that helps someone in the future.

Paul Cundy Hi Paul, RAL5015 code is actually the Sky Blue that was used on Bultaco 340 (Model 199B) front fork sliders, yolks & side panels. I don't know what the Ford Electric Blue RAL code is, but there must be a code for it...somewhere! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Sherpa 340 199B as well as my Frontera and the "blues" are the same. Job done, forget "Ford electric blue" and just use RAL 5015.

cunpr Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Ford Electric Blue is a close match for the 199A frame! Big John Yep, able to do a side by side and RAL 5015 is just a shade slightly lighter than the blue on my Sherpa 340 which I believe to be original. So for me Bultaco Blue is RAL 5015.

nh014 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) I can't give you the RAL number, but Bultaco blue is PPG Grabber Blue, paint code DBU (Deltron Base Color)2230. Same paint color (Grabber Blue) used on the 1970 Ford Mustang. Edited November 25, 2010 by nh014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
