RAL 8022 - Black Brown

What Is RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat?

RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat is a made-to-order polyester gel coat matched to RAL 8022, Black Brown. In polyester and vinyl ester composite construction, gel coat is the first layer applied to the mold and becomes the smooth, colored outer skin of every part pulled from it. The Black Brown color runs through the gel coat material itself rather than sitting on top as a secondary finish.

Why Choose RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat?

Black Brown is one of the darkest browns in the RAL range, with a near-black depth that gives it a dramatic, premium character. Its extreme depth makes it a go-to specification for automotive composite panels, premium furniture components, and architectural parts where a very dark brown-black finish is required. Fibre Glast matches it precisely to the RAL 8022 standard, so the color is consistent and repeatable across production runs. For physical color confirmation before ordering, the #4008-A RAL Color Book has printed swatches of all 188 RAL colors.

What Are the Best Applications for RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat?

Automotive composite panels, premium furniture components, and architectural parts where a very deep, near-black brown finish is the specification. It can also be used for open-air repairs when combined with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive.

How Should RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?

Apply RAL 8022 Black Brown Color Gel Coat by spraying onto a properly prepared mold surface, catalyzed with #69 MEKP at 1.5% to 2.5%. Build up 4 to 5 coats at about 5 mils per coat, allowing 15 to 20 minutes between each, for a finished thickness of 20 to 25 mils total. The #122-A Gel Coat Thickness Gauge takes the guesswork out of film build. Use #70 Styrene Thinner or Duratec #1039/#1040 to reach spray viscosity if needed. One gallon yields 40 to 80 square feet of coverage. As a made-to-order product, all Color Gel Coat sales are final.
