A match of Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) is a cool, muted blue-gray with very low chroma and a medium-dark value. It reads as a restrained slate tone with a slight blue-green cast rather than a clean neutral gray.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint precisely matches the color and finish for this reference, which is useful for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service damage, or missed spots in a powder-coated finish. It can also be used on brackets, enclosures, frames, railings, screw heads, trim plugs, end caps, and other ancillary parts that need to blend with coated metal assemblies.
Because this is a low-chroma, medium-dark color, it tends to read as controlled and subdued rather than bright. Even so, finish variables still matter: gloss, texture, film build, and substrate can change how the repair looks, and small touch-up areas may show a seam or sheen shift beside an older cured finish.
For replacement parts, sample panels, and fabricated details, this color gives you a practical match point on a paintable component that needs to coordinate with a coated assembly. If the existing part has aged, weathered, or changed in sheen, comparing against the actual part or an approved sample can be a better check than relying on the code alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Tiger Drylac™ 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) *
Will MyPerfectColor paint matched to Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) match an older cured finish exactly?
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012), but an older cured part can still read differently than a fresh repair.
Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, film build, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks in place. If you are matching beside an existing part, a side by side visual check against the actual cured finish is safer than relying on the color reference alone.
Is Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) the right reference for touch-up after chips, scratches, or missed spots?
Yes, if you are repairing chips, scratches, rub marks, transport damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, or missed spots in the original finish, Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) is a valid reference for a matched touch-up.
Use MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint when you need the repair to track the same color and finish as the coated part. For small defects, a touch-up paint or paint pen may be appropriate; for larger repaired areas, spray paint is often easier to apply evenly.
Can Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) be used for screw heads, plastic snaps, trim plugs, or other ancillary parts?
Yes. A match of Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) is often used as a reference when small ancillary parts need to coordinate with a coated assembly but cannot go through the same original finishing process.
That includes screw heads, rivet heads, plastic snaps, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, fastener hardware, brackets, and similar items. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012) in a format that fits the part size and application method.
If I order a liquid match for Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012), will it look the same as the original powder-coated finish?
It will be a precise color and finish match to Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012), but a liquid repair can still look different beside the original cured powder-coated finish.
That difference usually comes from gloss, texture, cure, film build, and how the coating interacts with the substrate and light. If the area will sit next to an existing cured part, use the original part or an approved sample as the visual reference whenever possible.
What should I confirm before ordering custom paint for Tiger Drylac 038/70012 RAL 7012 (138/70012)?
