WHICH RAL COLOUR RED PROFLEX 856 ?
« on: July 07, 2014, 12:24:12 pm »
Hello Guys.

     I live in Brazil and I'm restoring a Proflex 856. Here it is very rare and there is no material or spare parts, but I can manufacture them and just need to know ral color of Red Proflex 856. Can someone help me?

     Grateful.

I'm not sure what a Ral colour is but I think it is just a colour chart? The sales brochure  just states red or race red but has no code. If you just go for a bright red you won't be far off.

I think Ducati red would also be pretty close as well.

True. Ducati, Ferrari and even Postman Pat they're all along the right line, if slightly slower.  :)

I've been checking the colors, the red ferrari seems a bit dark, red fireman looks very similar and had not seen the red Ducati, if anyone knows how much darker the colors are similar or slightly lighter for example), can help me get to the closest color of the original.
The bike is in titanium color and want to paint it in traditional red color Proflex.

Jassa. :)

Just out of interest is the red used on the 856 the same as the red used on the 857? I'll see if I can get a match for my 857.

I forgot I had a red 856 even though I walk past it every day! Doh! Anyway using my iPhone with the official RAL chart the best match I can see is RAL3020 Traffic red. None of the colours seem an exact match but this one was so very close. Of cause the colours could change depending on what device you are using to look at them but  I think this one is your best match. Hope this helps.
