Most automotive paint suppliers will have a paint camera program which will give you close match or the exact color code. You will need to have the swim platform available for them to take the photo. I believe one of the systems is called Profit.

Thank you! Called them, they don't do marine platforms anymore, new owners 3 yrs ago. Orbit has some nice colors, but hard to pic not knowing my original RAL number....

If you have a local powdercoat shop nearby, they should have the color swatches you can use to match up the powder. I have some here, but I'm just a bit away from you.

Ugh! Strike one on the match. No go. Hope I didn't open a can of worms....says he can match on 2nd attempt. And we all just thought there were only 50 shades of gray! Lol...

Honestly I believe you would be better off removing it and having it powder coated like it was done originally. Way more durable and all surfaces will match. Only a 15 minute job to remove it as well.
