Custom & RAL Color Matching

Designed to Perform

High Performance Aluminum Finishes

With over two decades of experience, Longboard is a premier producer of sustainable, durable, and visually striking powder-coated and sublimated extruded aluminum products. Our finishes adhere to the most stringent environmental guidelines to ensure the highest-quality product is delivered to our clients.

We use powder coating and sublimation methods for their durability and environmentally friendly properties. All of our finishes are AAMA 2604 or 2605 certified and undergo extensive in-house testing to ensure high performance.

Custom Color Matching

Custom colors are an excellent choice for projects that demand a personalized touch and a distinct visual impact, whether the application is institutional, commercial, healthcare-related, or residential. These finishes offer a level of design flexibility and creative freedom that allows architects, designers, and homeowners to bring their unique visions to life with precision and flair. We proudly collaborate with top-tier coating suppliers in the architectural finishes industry to ensure every custom color meets the highest standards of uniqueness, durability, and sustainability.

Once a potential color match is identified, all custom finishes are subjected to thorough testing protocols, including evaluations for corrosion resistance, UV stability, and long-term weathering performance. These tests are crucial to ensure that custom finishes retain their appearance and structural integrity over time, even in the face of harsh environmental conditions.

This disciplined approach to powder coating, combined with our stringent quality and process control standards, is what sets us apart as a trusted industry leader. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every custom color finish we produce not only looks beautiful at installation but continues to perform at a premium level for many years to come.

LB RAL Classic Solid Colors

The most efficient and reliable method for color matching we offer is through our RAL Classic color matching program. This internationally recognized, standardized system includes a carefully curated palette of over 200 colors, ranging from timeless neutrals like crisp whites and deep blacks to vibrant hues such as vivid yellows, striking reds, and rich violets. Because RAL colors are universally standardized, they ensure consistency across projects and manufacturing runs, regardless of location or application.

One of the major advantages of using RAL is the elimination of the need for physical sample chips in the early stages of selection. This streamlines the approval process, significantly reduces lead times, and eliminates much of the back-and-forth often associated with custom color matching. As a result, clients benefit from greater speed, convenience, and cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality or precision.

To explore the range of RAL options available, we recommend browsing the full RAL Classic color chart online. For those who prefer a tactile reference, our physical fan deck is also available for purchase through our online store. Utilizing the RAL system is a smart, efficient choice for projects requiring dependable color accuracy and faster turnaround times.
