We are ordering a new heli for the syndicate and I came across this photo hwich I reckogn is the dogs nuts..

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled/Robinson-R-44-Raven/1053597&photo_nr=1&prev_id=&next_id=NEXTID

Problem is I don't know wheter the colour is Slate grey or medium grey and i don't know the colour of the trim (Viper blue pearl maybe).

Robbo service locally is a bit patchy and I don't want to whip off the covers in 4 months and have a horror... help please....

If you like that particular helicopter you can probably pick it up at a bargain from the Silverstate fire sale going on right about now.

Pick one of the email addresses below and ask RHC directly about the color code for that paint scheme. Usually the fastest way.

I guess you already have a Robinson color sample catalogue?

I reckon your spot on in those colour assumptions! Slate Grey with Viper Strips... good looking colour combo if I may say so myself :ok:

thansk all and particularly runway.. It is confirmed by Robbie as slate grey and viper blue.. good spot from the rat..

Grey interior, A/C upgraded audio panel 4 point harnesses.. can't wait..

What kind of environment caused your blade delamination? RHC puts it as if it would only happen in an environment that is dusty where you fly low under heavy weight. How old were these blades, and has any work been done on them previously?
