RA and BSI Paint Colours

[alec dawe]

This can't be a 'product' review yet, because I haven't used it, but this is a review of remarkable service.
In my search for Harzerbahnen colours, which I was kindly informed were RA colours, RA 3004 and RA 1014 respectively, I was trawling the Internet, and came across a company in the south of England who will mix and fill aerosol cans with any colour of the RA and BSI ranges, so yesterday, at about 16.30 I ordered two cans of the ivory, two cans because for two or more you get free delivery.
The cans were delivered by courier (can't put aerosols in the Royal Mail these days), at 11.30 this morning!
I consider this to be outstanding service, in this day and age.
If I am allowed to name the company, they are Zehno-G, based in Portsmouth. ( mods, please remove if I shouldn't name the company).


I'll do a report on the paint itself when I've used it!

Did you try taking the RA spec to your local Halfords? They fill Aerosols to colour specs.

Yes, Halfords offer the same service. I wanted a standard RAL colour of Konigblau for a THW civil protection custom and just went along to Halfords with the RAL number 5002 and they made it up while I waited.

Damn, I didn't know that.


Mind you, our local Halfords staff probably are challenged mixing their coffee, let alone paint.

I have found Halfords a bit hit and miss with consistency, I had several cans of BL Flame Red mixed and they are all slightly different shades.
