*****How about a sticky list of paint codes we could compile, e.g. ET burgundy, GT yellow, Hollywood pink etc etc,  now that wouldn't be a bad idea*****

Found the thread I was looking for... http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=36142.15

So it was a toss up between ral code 1018 zinc yellow that Biagio supposingly used but maybe a shade too dark or was it concluded that ral code 1023 traffic yellow was best?

I've looked at this ral code chart http://www.e-paint.co.uk/Colourchart.asp?pType=&pFinish=
and to the eye I'm guessing the 1018 looks more correct to me, can anyone add an experianced opinion to this,
thanks again

***In the old thread about it though Dan said it was 1023 used on the Fly, is that a mistake?****

I can't help with the paint code but I can tell you to take absolutely no notice of any paint swatches you look at on screen. You have to see the paint swatch in the flesh to be 100% sure. All computer screens are different and it's almost impossible to accurately represent a paint or ink colour using RGB.
