Isnt it more likely to have a 'FS.' number than a RAL?

Be carful with the colors printed from the computer!
The color may vary!
Only the official color charts from a paint store has the right colors ....

A while back I bought an aerosol can of blue /grey paint that was recommend by a guy off the G503 jeep site, it is a can that has been mixed, and it has the following wording, PANTONE 5415C. CELL MATT.
Dont know if this helps !

LLoyd, The PANTONE no is all that is needed - the rest is CELLULOSE MATT (meaning the make up & Finish). Any decent paint supplier should be able to mix it up. Surely it should be an ANA colour?

FS Colours:

Try this for a conversion using model paints:

Just type in the PANTONE no here to find the shade:

In the chaos of battle, when the ground beneath your feet is a slurry of blood, puke, p**s and the entrails of friends and enemies alike, it's easy to turn to the gods for salvation. But it's soldiers who do the fighting, and soldiers who do the dying, and the gods never get their feet wet.
