chappo Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I have researched the site before i get told off. I noted forum posts from 2008 from WOODY, ( TRIED TO SEND YOU A MESSAGE BUT IT WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT !! ) The original colour of yellow is RAL 1018, Zinc yellow, although some people say its to pale. I bought a can of 1018, primed it in grey and sprayed it, they were right a far paler shade than the one its wearing now. On speaking to other people i've been told that it needs a white primer. WOODY in 2008 you recommended, RAL 1021 , can you remember was it a white or grey primer. you used. Has anyone sprayed one up recently with a different opinion or RAL code. Thanks.

woody Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 No idea what the message problem was. Can't help with what difference white or grey primer makes sorry, mine was powder coated and a body shop did the tank for me. It normally says on the can which primer to use ? I'd always use 1021 for yellow, it's a nice deep, rich shade. Can't get a picture of my old Gripper on here but this Majesty was 1021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappo Posted June 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 That’s the deeper rich yellow I’m after, it’s the colour of the bike now, 1018 is far too pale. Thanks Woody. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
