orange red nose color

[HGXC[_2_]]

I have a early Ventus and it came with a orange/red nose and tip paint. Where can I find the matching color of that paint? I have a few scrapes that I want to touch up.

Easiest is likely to take your trailer to the local auto paint store and see if they have a portable color scanner.

DG lists the paint color codes in the POH. Have you checked their?

Oops!

Make that "their" their's, i.e., the one that came with your ship.

The color is probably an RAL color. Perhaps 3024. It is a european color system. Check with auto paint suppliers.

RAL-color-code touch-up spray paints are available in the USA from

I see the 3024, was this a guess or did you know someone who had a ventus or SH glider?

Was it factory applied paint? Have you contacted SH? Might be worth an email.

Be aware that those colours fade out in sunlight, so touching up with
"fresh" colour might be detectable for a few years. I would consider
repainting the whole nose/wingtip instead.

Dennis, the maintenance manual for my Ventus 2CX states

Orange - (RAL-Code No. 2004) or Red (RAL-Code No. 3000 or 3024)

This is a 2004 manual

[Andrew[_13_]]

SH uses RAL colors, using a 2-component urethane-acrylic paint
(paint and hardener) which really needs to be applied professionally
e.g. by a dealer (its toxic). This produces a very durable paint job,
and probably this is the way to go for any large paint areas. For
touch up of small areas, the same RAL colors are available in the USA
as single-component acrylic spay cans, and these can be applied by
anyone. If its not clear which RAL code you have from your aircraft
manual, SH should be able to tell you the RAL code they used. I
found minor scratches on my Ventus paint (5 years from the SH
factory) were perfectly matched with a single-component acrylic
spray can of the same RAL code. I got a spray can from
artprimo.com. Before that, I had tried a lot of local automotive
suppliers, but they didn't seem to be aware of RAL color codes, and I
really didn't get much help from them, except an occasional offer to
special-order much larger quantities than I needed.

Thanks Ron, (nice glider!), My manual is 1981 and does not mention any paint that i can find. I looked at the RAL colors and I think the 3024 looks right or closer then the others. I got a call to the US dealer. IF anyone has a older Ventus in the 80's and can find the color in the manual, that would be great.
