Hi all,
I'm sorting out the metalwork from the rustiest Daytona USA twin I've ever seen ready for shot blasting / powder coating. What's the correct RAL colour for these, please?
RAL 9005 Black Satin?

Many thanks,
Rob

Here's a selection of what I'm working with. Despite appearances, the metal is still solid: -

I know for black with speaking with another racing cabinet owner/restore I think the statement was "UK cabs were more dull but the JP had better quality finish".. so we tend to go for a straight black semi gloss.
I actually have some parts being done at powder coaters now but wont be back for week or so. I think my thread shows some parts already done though.. My shotblasted parts
Another reason I didn't use an official colour was that its been said that when SEGA Cardiff ran out of black they'd pop to Halfords and just buy any black spray cans!! (not sure how official this is but the way the paint flakes off supports this comment.. lol
