Color of German THW Blue

[firemedicburr]

Does anyone know of the proper color for German THW vehicles? It seems like a straight-up medium blue, but no color ever seems to look correct. Would it be better to not use a gloss finish? Could any of you recommend a brand and color?

Thank you in advance,

Brian,

the THW uses RAL5002 (www.themeter.net/ral_e.htm) on their vehicles which is ultramarine blue. Personally I would use a gloss paint on THW vehicles as they seem to be kept in good shape.
