RAL color code

[Maxwell-8 4,277]

Here in Europe we use RAL-codes for determining the paint we need. I don't know if that is the case in the US. 

Does anybody know the RAL code for Wheel Horse Red and WheelHorse white?

And the black on blackhoods, is it matt, semi-gloss or gloss black?

 

Have been reading a lot of posts about colors that come close, but since I will be repainting 2 Horses, spraycan's aren't really an option. Add in we don't get the paint brands sold in the US here in Europe.

 

We thank you for your input

If you can find a source for "International Harvester red" and "IH off white" these are the colors that I use. The black would be a semi gloss.

@Maxwell-8 You could also go with a satin, if you want it even a little less shiny.

I did my first Black Hood in semi and second in satin… preferred the satin…

I use RAL 3001, very nice color and almost identical to IH red.

It's alot like throwing horse shoes or hand grenades  Max... especially in your neck of the woods where certain  paint colors might be made of unobtainium. Just get it Red and close. Anybody notices different they are gonna have issues with all of us here!  Like Dan or Mike  says IH red is perfectly acceptable  and we will not say a word given your circumstances.
