Support Note (SPN-0100-25)

RIPPA Machine Colors

Updated: 21/JAN/2025

This Support Note covers the paint colors used by RIPPA and alternatives to repair damaged paintwork. RIPPA uses the European RAL Classic colour system. RAL is commonly used in industrial paint colors.

In the USA it is a little harder to get RAL colors. These are some alternatives and information to help you source RAL colors.

Sherwin Williams, PPG and Columbia Coatings have the formulas for RAL colors in their systems. You can also find touch-up spray cans on Amazon and other online vendors. The guys at LVP Paints from Crosslink Paints LLC in Dallas Texas sell pre-mixed RAL paints.
