RAL paint code for 851 wheels and frame

MickB

Morning All,
I'm just about to have a wheel powder coated, on an off chance, does anyone know the RAL code for the colour used by Ducati or is it a simple gloss white?

Second geeky question, the brake light switch and the oil pressure switch both have exposed connectors. I think I remember that they both had rubber covers, which are long since gone. Is this correct or am I confusing myself in my old age?

Regards

Mick

Many thanks to you both. Just to contribute a little. The rubber boot for the rear brake switch is available ex stock on line from Ducati Manchester for the princely sum of £0.50p.

The Ral code for powder coating seems to be 9016 or 9010. There was some debate on a Dutch forum on this subject and it comes down to how white do you want your white.

I found a fiche online but it does not show a rubber boot over the switch that sits next to the oil filler cap on the clutch side of the cases. Is this the correct please? I made a mistake when I asked originally.

Looks like it's Item 36.

I could use some of those rubber boots, but it doesn't look like they ship to the US.

I've not ordered yet. If you want a couple pm me your address and I'll post them over to you>

No problem

I've gone for RAL 9016 on my frame - it's definitely white!

Mr.R

What as white as snow, or snow that someone's pissed on? 😏
If you drop your eyes to the bottom of this page you'll see that the question asked has been covered many, many times before.
I had my frame powder coated "Signal White" RAL 9016 a couple of years back now.

Re snow that's been pissed on. You should know better than that. " Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat the yellow snow." Apologies to Zappa fans.

I'll be taking the 9016 option Thanks one and all.
