What color blue does Rotary use?

[Jay H]

I just bought a used Rotary lift. The arms and base of posts need some paint. What name is the closest blue to Rotary blue color? The arms are blue also, not yellow.

thx.

I would chip a piece of the powder coat off and go have it matched

I was hoping rustoleum, etc had a paint color specific to the Rotary blue they use.

I emailed Rotary. They sent me a PDF drawing with their paint colors.

Audi Gray = RAL# 7035
Black = RAL# 9005
Signal Blue = RAL# 5005
Chevy Blue = RAL# 5010
Carminr Red = RAL# 3002
Silver = RAL# 9006
Saphire Blue = RAL# 5003
Tomato Red = RAL# 3013
Traffic Red = RAL# 3020
Window Gray = RAL# 7040
Signal Yellow = RAL# 1003

I sent a second email and he said that RAL# 5005 is the "Rotary Blue"

Late to the party but the local paint supply cross referenced the RAL color and made this. I sincerely appreciate the leg work.

+1 for RAL colors! They're just about all I use now, because the selection covers just about everything I need and an international standard is really useful in color matching.

RAL colors are especially common in powder coating, and any paint shop that caters to commercial customers should be able to mix a RAL shade in just about any of their finishes. I get mine at Sherwin Williams.

I can confirm the answer. It is by Rustoleum it is called Sunburst Yellow , it is also usually in stock in a 1 quart container.

Ok, I’ll ask the dumb question:

What’s “RAL” stand for? Is it an acronym or a brand name? Where do you go to get it?

RAL is an European color matching system which defines colors for paint, coatings and plastics. The RAL color standard is administrated by the RAL Deutsches Institut für Gütesicherung und Kennzeichnung. 'RAL' is the abbreviation of 'Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung'.
