Hi, I'm restoring a G81-1800, got a custom pcb and the last thing to do is paint the case because of all the scratches and scuffs, and I want to get at least close to the original color - that's why I'm looking for the RAL code that is the closest to the factory grayish finish. I tried color pickers and got RAL 7032, but if anyone did it before maybe you got closer. Thanks in advance, have a great day yall!

Slightly off-topic, but do you like the switches? I.e. typing on it

I mean I swapped the PCB to a QMK one so I can use whatever switches I want with MX footprint, not the horrendous MYs.

If anyone is wondering, finally found a good enough match - RAL 1013. The 1800 is painted, 3000 is original and not yellowed for comparison.
