Default Paint code

Does anyone know, what Ral code is close to 69 Monaco Orange?

have you seen their color chart? https://www.crosslinkpaints.com/RAL-Colour-Chart.html
Ral appears to be a German/European standard and I see no mention of automotive applications on their web site.

Hi,

Thanks.
My problem is, here are no Monaco Orange where I live, my next problem is, that the US paint codes can't be used here, they don't have that kind of (and old) data in there system.
I just had that problem with my 1973 Z28/RS 75/75 paint

So the easy way for me is, if I could find out, what is close to Monaco Orange in Ral (I did not know it is a EU standard(or non USA standard))

As I see it, in the Ral code, it is Ral 2009, next is Ral 2002

But since I can't see a car "live" then it is a bit hard to compare.

BTW I know I will not get a 100% correct paint, if I use Ral codes, but that is ok, I just need something close to 69 Monaco Orange

Yes, that is it, that is the "correct" Ral code.
