Tiger Drylac RAL 7037 is a subdued gray with a faint green cast and low chroma. It reads as a medium-dark neutral rather than a clean, bright gray, so the color feels restrained and slightly muted.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, which is useful for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service wear, or missed spots in the original powder-coated finish. It can also be used on screw heads, trim plugs, end caps, brackets, vents, switch covers, and other ancillary parts that need to blend with the coated assembly.

Because this is a quiet, low-saturation gray, it often covers evenly, but the final look still depends on substrate color, surface prep, and film build. On darker or uneven surfaces, a thin film can still allow contrast to show through, and sheen differences may be noticeable if the surrounding finish is aged or textured.

When you are matching an existing cured part, gloss, texture, and weathering can make a fresh touch-up read differently even when the color reference is correct. For replacement parts, fabricated details, or sample panels, the coating reference is usually the right starting point; for a visible repair beside an older finish, an approved part or sample can be safer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Tiger Drylac™ 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) *

Will MyPerfectColor 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) match an existing cured Tiger Drylac finish exactly?

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for Tiger Drylac 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037), but an older cured part can still read differently beside a fresh repair. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, film build, and batch variation can all affect the final appearance.

If the area is highly visible or the tolerance is tight, use the coated part itself or an approved sample panel as your reference before ordering.

Can I use Tiger Drylac 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) for touch-up after transportation, installation, fabrication, or missed spots?

Yes. This color reference is commonly used for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, handling marks, field modifications, or missed spots in the original coating.

Order the format that fits the repair size and application method. MyPerfectColor offers touch-up paint and other formats that are suited to coated-finish repair and small-area coverage.

Can Tiger Drylac 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) be used on screw heads, plastic snaps, or other ancillary parts?

Yes. This color is often used to coordinate ancillary items such as screw heads, rivet heads, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, brackets, and similar hardware that cannot go through the original coating process.

For these parts, the goal is close color coordination with the coated assembly. Clean the part well before application, and for plastic pieces, confirm the material can accept the chosen coating format.

Will a liquid match of Tiger Drylac 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) look the same as the original coated finish?

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but a fresh liquid touch-up can still look different next to a cured coated part. The original finish may have its own gloss, texture, cure, film build, and surface behavior, so a perfect color reference does not guarantee an identical visual read in every situation.

If you are matching a visible factory finish, compare against the actual part or a sample panel before you order.

Should I use an existing part or sample for Tiger Drylac 038/70037 RAL 7037 (138/70037) instead of the name or code alone?

Yes, when the match is highly visible or the tolerance is tight, an existing coated part or approved sample panel is usually the better reference. The name and code are a good starting point, but they may not capture weathering, gloss shift, texture, or special finish behavior.

Use the part itself when you can, especially for production approvals, line-extension parts, or side-by-side comparisons.
