apologies if this has been posted before but does anyone know the RAL colour numbers for the white hull sides and blue stripes for a 2002 year boat?
a search on this very useful website shows RAL 9016 for white and 5013 for blue for a year 2003 boat
clipper marine cannot help for the time being
thanks
-
The colours for my 2000 B36 are RAL9016 White and RAL5020 Ocean Blue
-
thanks for your help
I will go with RAL 9016

B38 2003
After a google search I tried RAL 9016. It was not a good match, too grey.
The best match so far has been 50% mix of pigments from Scott Bader Super White & White 337.

Thanks for the new info
Will check with east coast they can supply these pigments
It’s a very small scratch about 20 mm long which I noticed whilst cleaning before going back in the water

While the RL 9016 is the original and is a perfect match on newish boats, it is inevitable over the years that the gel coat fades and matching becomes difficult. On my 37 of similar vintage to your boat I found the Plastic Padding gel coat filler a good match and easy to use. The challenge always with a little repair like that is blending it in with the surrounding finish, particularly difficult if it is in a large flat panel.

According to Selvida's website (selvida.de) who appear to have a fairly close relationship with Bavaria and sell OEM geldcoat the color of the white gelcoat from 1998 to 2004 is not a pure RAL color. It seems that it is close to RAL 9010 http://www.selvida.de/epages/62442099.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62442099/Products/212-8-1099 Maybe you get in touch with the people at Selvida. They should be able to help out.
You could also look for BHP (Jotun) gelcoat putty (no. 101759 - http://www.maritimusboote.de/epages/289397.sf/en_GB/?ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&ObjectID=64738&PageSize=60&SearchString=101759&ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2F289397). Be aware that this is gelcoat which at the outside will remain sticky if not covered by hostaphan film or if you do not add paraffin. The color of the BHP gelcoat putty for yachts produced after 2003 (different color) is a perfect match.

Can second the Plastic Padding gelocat filler recommendation. Perfect match for our 2001 Bavaria. Although you have to be careful with the hardener ratio, some repairs have yellowed over time while others have not, so I guess I mucked up the mixing a bit on those.
