Welcome to the International Class Association website for the RS Aero. Here you will find all there is to know about the RS Aero including the latest news, how to register your boat, and links to relevant documents.

While this doesn't answer the question of RAL Code #'s for RS boat colours you might be intersted to look on the rssailingstore,com RS Chandlery web page:-
Accessories > Boat Repair & Maintenance > Gelcoat Repair > RS Sailing Gelcoat Pigment
RS Sailing Gelcoat Pigment - RS Sailing (rssailingstore.com)
They have a list of Gelcoat pigments by RS Boat Sail #, it's a pdf download.
Aero has only ever been Arctic White - the only white in the RS all boats clour range.
There is also the following description - implying they can ship whatever pigment is needed worldwide:-

'We are pleased to say that now we can supply many of our older colours again and ship them worldwide, gelcoat Pigment is our solution! 20g of RS Pigment mixed into clear gelcoat will make up 400g of correct colour gelcoat. (5% mix ratio)
Only the pigment is supplied. Clear gelcoat and catalyst will need to be purchased separately. Due to some tricky and expensive hazards goods rules around shipping, in most case these items will need to be sourced locally.'
Which should make it easier to get an exact colour match than having some made up locally.
I hope this helps.

According to RS Sailing the RAL code for the Aero gelcoat is 9016. In German this is called "Verkehrsweiß"

Just resurrecting this question.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a colour that would be a reasonable match for the Aero White? I have a couple of very small repairs on my daggerboard and I’d like to stop noticing them!
Ideally a car colour so that I can just pick up a spray can in Halfords.
Thanks.

Hi everyone. I have made repairs (plastering) with epoxy resin (epoxy putty) on my boat and now I have to paint those ugly signs of grouting. What is the code of the white color of the aero, and do you recommend a particular paint, please? Thank you. Good wind!
Guido
