Radical Gelcoat Color codes
People often ask for the color codes for the different Radical colors. Radical has been very helpful in providing me the information for the cars that I have owned but they were not able to give me a comprehensive list, so I am reaching out to the Radical community to build a list. If you know any of the gelcoat color codes please list them and I will compile a list. Here is what I have so far:
1) Cobra blue - RAL 5002
2) Team Grey - RAL 7047
3) Spice yellow - Llewellyn Ryland 3754
4) Tangerine Orange - Llewelyn Ryland 3957, RAL 2003
5) Rosso (Ferrari) Red - Llewellyn Ryland 3756
Thanks for the help,
Charley
@gobble, I just added the color code for the Rosso (Ferrari) red to the list. Radical uses Llewellyn Ryland colours which are plentiful in the UK but challenging to find in the US. I am trying to get in touch with some gelcoat companies to see if the can mix LR colors.

Hi Charley, thanks for collecting these. I believe my SR4 is what Radical calls "Rosso" or "Ferrari" red. But in checking around, there are several different Ferrari Rosso colors (Chiaro, Corsa, Dino, Rubino, Metallico, etc.).
If the LR color code (3756) for the red is correct, then LR calls that "Signal Red". That is generally a common red used for signs, etc. The RAL equivalent for "Signal Red" is 3001.
I'm headed to my garage at the track tomorrow to do some bodywork, which is why I looked up this thread. I'll pick up some generic "signal red" spray paint to see how close it gets.
Great John, Thanks!
Would anyone happened to know what the code for white is?
Thanks Charley.
It always amuses me speculating how the marketing people choose prefixes.

@stephen, The white Radical uses is made by Llewellyn-Ryland and the color number is 4777 and the color name is “Super White”.

I'm trying to obtain some paint and this company seems to sell pigmentation for gel coats. Is there a RAL code equivalent?
4777 is 'White', whereas 4789 is 'Super White', (See Colours). Could you double check which one is correct?

@stephen, the chart I have says that the Llewellyn Ryland colour code is 4777 and the Llewellyn Ryland colour name is Super white. Unfortunately there isn't always an RAL equivalent for the LR colors.

@CharleyH
I am needing some BLACK gel coat. Is there a special color code or will "BLACK" suffice?
@tommymills, The color that Radical uses is Llewellyn Ryland color 3602 that is called Jet black. The challenge we have here in the U.S. is that no one here sells LR colors they only sell RAL colors. If you want the exact color you would have to reach out to Llewellyn Ryland in the U.K. and see if they will ship it to you. But I would experiment with a standard black gelcoat here in the U.S. and see if it is close. If you don't have any of the RAL black, I can make a sample for you and ship it to you.

Thanks Charley. I think I will start with RAL 9005 and see how close I get.
