RAL 3022 Salmon Pink Paint

RAL 3022 Salmon Pink (RAL 3022) defines a target color only. It does not specify gloss, texture, or coating process. Decide based on acceptance risk and what will be inspected.

Standard RAL 3022 is typically sufficient when:

• The spec accepts the RAL standard color target (not a part-to-part match).
• Cross-material coordination is expected (e.g., powder on frames, liquid on small parts) where sheen/texture may differ.
• You are doing low-criticality repairs (chips, functional protection) or small touch-ups.
• Close visual harmony is acceptable and inspection is not stringent.

Request a sample/OEM-specific match when:

• You must match an existing coated part or assembly (including gloss and texture) on the same plane or in continuous areas.
• The area is large, high-visibility, or subject to strict cosmetic acceptance/inspection.
• An OEM powder formulation or finish code exists and must be matched.
• There is known weathering/fade on existing parts that the new coating must visually align with.

Actions to reduce risk:

• Clarify with stakeholders whether acceptance is to the RAL 3022 standard or to an existing part.
• State required gloss/texture in the PO if relevant.
• For critical work, provide a physical control sample or part to match, and approve a drawdown under service lighting.
• If an OEM powder code exists, include it in the order and confirm the desired gloss/texture.

Primer selection depends on substrate condition and service environment. General guidance for RAL 3022 applications:

• Bare carbon steel: Clean to bright metal and profile. Use zinc-rich or high-build epoxy primer for corrosion resistance.
• Galvanized steel: Degrease, lightly sweep/abrade to break the passivation. Use a wash/etch primer or an epoxy primer designed for galvanized.
• Aluminum: Degrease, scuff. Use an etch or chromate-free epoxy primer for adhesion and corrosion protection.
• Stainless steel: Degrease, create a mechanical profile, then epoxy primer.
• Fiberglass/gelcoat/composites: Dewax, sand, epoxy primer; use a plastic/fiberglass adhesion promoter if needed.
• Rigid plastics (ABS, PVC, PC, etc.): Clean, solvent-wipe as appropriate, apply plastic adhesion promoter, then primer compatible with the topcoat.
• Previously painted (sound) surfaces: Clean, degloss/scuff, spot-prime bare areas with epoxy/bonding primer.

Notes:

• Always test adhesion on a small area before full production.
• For efficient hide and uniformity with RAL 3022, a medium gray primer is commonly effective (avoid extreme white/black undercoats unless specified).
• Follow recoat windows and film builds recommended for your system.

Yes, with proper prep and verification. The RAL 3022 target can be achieved over sound finishes, but gloss/texture differences versus the original coating may remain visible.

Process:

• Identify and clean: Verify the existing finish (powder/liquid). Remove oils and contaminants; rinse and dry.
• Degloss/abrade: Uniformly scuff the surface to a matte finish without cutting through edges.
• Adhesion check: Apply your intended primer/topcoat on a test area, allow proper cure, then perform a cross-hatch tape test. Proceed only if adhesion is acceptable.
• Prime as needed: On intact powder or cured paint, a thin epoxy bonding primer often improves reliability. Spot-prime any exposed substrate.
• Topcoat: Apply RAL 3022 in controlled film build and allow full cure. Evaluate under service lighting.

Acceptance considerations:

• If you must visually match adjacent powder-coated parts (including gloss/texture), request a sample-based or OEM-specific match.
• For small chips/repairs, standard RAL 3022 touch-up is usually sufficient if adhesion is confirmed.

Yes, our spray paint, paint pens and touch up bottles are ideal for touching up parts of all kinds, including powder coatings. However, keep in mind that our version of RAL3022 Salmon Pink is based on the color swatch contained in the official RAL color book. The color and sheen of your specific production parts may be different. If you need a touch up application, we can create a touch up solution precisely matching your specific parts.

While we can provide RAL3022 Salmon Pink in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
