Frequently Asked Questions
RAL 6018 or RAL 6005, which to choose?+
RAL 6018 (yellow green) for clear environment (field, meadow, English wine country) — better integration on green grass background. RAL 6005 (mint green) for forested, dark, or military camouflage environments. RAL 6005 was also a historical British Army colour.
Does a green 20-foot container pass in a classified zone?+
Yes in 80% of cases (Local Plan / Conservation Area), vs ~30% for red or bright blue. Green is considered an integration colour by UK planning authorities. Attach a RAL card and photo of the environment to the planning application.
Does green hold up against UV exposure near the sea?+
Yes, better than red but not as well as grey or blue. RAL 6005 (mint) lasts ~10 years, RAL 6018 (yellow) ~8-10 years. Near the sea (salt + intense UV), plan for a salt-resistant hydrophobic varnish (~120 €).
Can a matte military camouflage finish be ordered?+
Yes, from specialised applicators. Matte polyurethane paint with non-reflective effect, additional cost ~50-80 € compared to glossy. Requested for military bases, hunters (hunting cabin), or premium industrial design. Lead time 2-3 weeks.
