1990 Marin paint RAL numbers?

This (I think - will check!) is RAL7016 in varying lighting conditions :

It's posted for a RAL comparison, it's actually a shade lighter than a 90 bear valley should be ;-)

The rest of the 90 range was like a primer grey, then the 91 range went dark across the full range :-)

The 91 was much darker than the 90 wasn't it :? as WD Pro says, I think you may be thinking of the '90 grey which was almost like a grey primer colour.
 
The 91' range was painted using what Marin called "Charcoal" Zolatone 2000 which was indeed darker in colour than the 90' range......hope this helps....

If anyone manages to get a hold of this paint (or indeed the RAL numbers......err i take it RAL relates to the exact colouring??) give me a shout as i need some for respraying my Team Marin 91'........

Found the following sprayer on eBay so you can paint it yourself but it looks pretty basic....maybe that's all you need....i've no painting experience myself....

RAL codes are a standard set of color shades that are used / recognised in pretty much all industries that paint / powder coat / print etc. Even my car paint shop supplier has mixed me touch ups to RAL codes :D

A quick net search :

But this isn’t the full set, I am pretty sure there are some newer numbers that have more digits.

We have the standard charts / swatches in work to QC items we buy.

For referance the frame above is RAL7016 (Anthracite Grey) finished in 30% gloss and the Fork is RAL9005 (Jet Black) finished in full gloss.

WD :D
 
Marin were a little inconsistant around the late 80's and early 90's, for example I have a 1990 Pine Valley, which has a gloss finish, very pale grey frame, others from 1990 had a matt finish dark grey.

Do you have a picture of what you're trying to match?

Thanks for the info :D
Its for resto on a 1991 Eldridge Grade. There's a pic in the 1991 catalogue on here.
The original paint that is on the frame is a lot lighter than yours WD but I think the Bear Valley was a darker shade?
Its very much like a dark primer grey with a slightly textured matt finish, i was going to get it powder coated but am undecided.
Any ideas on a code for the bars and forks etc? I'm thinking Dyno-rod orange but it may be a little bright 8)
