RAL 5020 Ocean Blue Paint

Send a physical sample or provide an OEM powder code when acceptance will be judged against an existing coated part, not just the RAL standard. This is especially important with dark colors like RAL 5020, where sheen and texture differences are very visible.

• Send a sample or OEM code if: the surface is high-visibility, the area is large, inspection is strict, or you know the original OEM powder series/code.
• Standard RAL match is typically sufficient for: cross-material coordination where sheen/texture already differ, small touch-ups or functional protection, or when close visual harmony is acceptable.

What to include with your sample/order to avoid rework:

• Acceptance target: "match the RAL Classic standard" or "match the installed part."
• Desired sheen/texture (e.g., matte/satin/gloss or a range) and any texture/orange-peel expectations.
• Substrate and application method (liquid spray, aerosol, etc.).
• Any known OEM powder brand/series/code and the required environment/service conditions.

RAL 5020 defines the color target, not the coating process. By default we tint the selected coating to the RAL standard; however, sheen and texture must be specified if they affect acceptance. Without that information, a liquid paint may not visually match an existing powder-coated part, even though both are RAL 5020.

To avoid ambiguity, include the following on the PO:

• Color: "RAL 5020 Ocean Blue."
• Acceptance reference: "match RAL Classic standard" or "match existing part."
• Sheen/texture requirement (e.g., matte/satin/semi-gloss/gloss; any texture/orange peel expectations).
• Substrate and application method (spray/aerosol/brush) and coating chemistry if required.
• Any known OEM powder manufacturer/series/code, or provide a physical sample for custom match.

If acceptance is against the installed part, send a sample. If acceptance is against the RAL standard, state that and choose a sheen that meets your spec.

Color is the same target, but appearance changes with surface texture and sheen. Powder often has orange peel/texture and a defined gloss; liquid coatings may be smoother or a different sheen. On dark colors like RAL 5020, a glossier surface looks deeper/darker and a textured surface looks lighter/softer, so parts can appear off-color side by side.

How to reduce mismatch risk:

• Define the acceptance reference: RAL standard vs. the existing powder-coated part.
• Specify the desired sheen (matte/satin/semi-gloss/gloss) and any texture expectation.
• Request a sprayed sample panel for approval before production, especially for large or high-visibility areas.
• If you know the powder brand/series/code, provide it so we can better align the liquid coating.

Yes, our spray paint, paint pens and touch up bottles are ideal for touching up parts of all kinds, including powder coatings.

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 RAL5020 Ocean Blue 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.
