Hi,

What are you using 5017 on?

I am assuming that 5017 is a really vibrant blue colour and only used 'features' on interiors.....

Panel wise, you need 7031, in Matt.

Are you sure your paint in not Satin instead of Gloss, Satin is a mix between the two with 'less' of a shine!

What are you painting?

Cheers,

Alex

Sand down everything that you have painted, and apply a matt white coat. Then re-paint...This should do the trick.

You may be able to get an electric sander and just remove what you have painted without having to apply a white coat.

hi Alex
i am painting my pedistal and the side stick bace and was thinking of painting the mip frame ral5017
my panels are RAL7013
I first painted my pedistal 7013 but notict that the airbus has 2 colours,it was nice with the 7013 but looked more like a 737 so i whanted to make it like the real ones
i was looking at lots of photos both coloures are matt
not saten
i also noticet that the dark blue in the real a320 to me looks more like navey blue and not 5017(traffic light blue) now i am not shore it might be because it is darker in a cockpit then out in my yard so once in it place it will be darker

Hi Guys!

I think both of you made mistake in reading colour code from the chart. If I know right colour for panels glare, pedestal and overhead is RAL 5024 mat. Last weekend I was flying brand new A320 wizzair and had opportunity to have a look inside the cockpit and for sure this is the right colour. By the way this is colour I am using for my panels. This is link to very good shop for aerosol paints: http://www.thelayup.com/premium.html and colour I am using is DARK GREY BLUE. Do not look at what ever is displayed on the website as these colours are far away from reality. I had to test at least 20 different cans before I found best one.

hi Skalarki
yes i will agree with you i painted the pedistal stand and side stick stand witch is a diffrent colour from the panels
a dark blue
i used RAL5017 and the guy made an error and made the paint gloss!!!!!!!!
it looks like a fishing boat!!!!!!
any way will try to fix it up today
but 5017 guys is with no way the colour of the frame(pedistal,side stick bace,mip frame)
it is very light blue nothing like the real a320 not even with the light turnd off!!!!!
the most realistic i find is from FDS the full cockpit but can not find what code that colour is!!!!!
it looks more like navy blue or blue black
as for the panels 7031 is the one for me
Skalarki we will talk soon love your products
kind regards spiro
