Which Toyo's are you discussing? Big difference between, say T1R, T1S , R1R and 888's

Ian After looking at the Libra at Stoneleigh, I did decide to do the change. Found the white Libra that week and it fit the bill and is a fantastic car being very good factory build. The Spyder took a while to sell so had them both on the road for a while. All ended well in the end :D

I'm searching for the RAL number for my red Spyder gel coat. It is chassis 15, built in 2003, SVA'd 2004. I managed to catch the front n/s corner splitter on the side of the trailer when loading up to come back from Shepton Mallet and I've cracked the wheel arch with a split about 40mm long and around the internal lip. I was hoping I can repair it with a few layers of CSM and resin on the inside and then rake back the gel coat on the outside and build it back up and rub down. Most repair kits seem to come in "signal red" which is RAL 3001 but East Coat Fibreglass also do RAL 3020 Traffic Red that from the screen image looks closer but hard to tell as my screen certainly isn't colour calibrated.

Anyone know the RAL?

Hi Dave
My old spyder was Ford Radiant Red
The rear clam was sprayed in this and it was hard to tell the difference between the paint and gel coat
No RAL but hope that help.
Phil...happy repairs

Hi GTM red from that time as listed on my Libra (May 1999) parts list is 'Cray Valley ARM 8511-362'. (my Libra is the darker of the two standard reds on early ish Libras so I think the same as those era Spyders). Sorry don't know how that fits with RALs but if anybody on here knows who Peter and Paddy used as their GRP suppliers, if still around, then maybe Cray Valley would mean something to them.
Best of luck
Howard W

Thanks guys.

Just found this thread on here. Google found it but the search engine on the forum itself seems to have missed it.

http://www.gtmdrivers.com/forum/red-gel-coat-colour-t3010.html

In fact searching again I found this even older thread where Ferg seems to confirm it is RAL3020. That RAL only seems to be available as a gelcoat from East Coast Fibreglass online. Seems that it is a good match for Radiant Red so I think this is the direction I'll try.
