FED-STD No 595





2005

I see the problem with link between RAL and FED standards is all over the word. We are having identical problem. Tools required painting using Fed standards which my distributors not familiar.
Some colors have not direct crooss overs. This can be solve out: if you have catalog with color sample of FED-STD 595 then every distributor could mix for you proper color.

But I have not idea if ther any link or web site which provide such information.
I need FED-STD No 595 paint 16476 GREY GLOSS.
