What are you using them for? Theres a couple of great topics in the Helmet section that cover all the RAL codes. Some are easier to get than others but you'll find all the info you need there. The best place to pick paint up from is your local car boby shop supplier. They can supply you any colour as long as you have a RAL code.

Agreed!
As long as the Ral code hasn't been changed since the war, an auto body supplier is the best place to get it!

However some codes have changed, like Ral 7008 for example, now it's more of a beige color rather than a olive green. I made that mistake.. I was called graugrün, but now it's called khakigrau.

So paints like that, are better to get from places like http://militaerlacke.de/ that have the original recepies for the colors that has been changed.
