    David,

    On a Ferrari site some recommended Plastikote T-31 Bright Orange... I've never tried it.

    I have always used the reddest (lots of variation) example of 'Chevy (GM) Engine Orange' spray paint I could find.....

    Hope this helps,
    Cheers

    Same here... I'll add:

    Anyone who is underneath your car critiquing your "orange" is fair game.

    I have asked Koni:

    The color is 'RAL 2002'

    This is a German color code, but I think it is used worldwide. Interestingly the color is called 'Blutorange'.

    See here for the RAL system:

    Michael,

    Thanks for the correct info...

    A practical solution might be to send for the RAL chart, hopefully their chart will be done with real 'spray out chips'. Then pick up a Ppg 'Fleet Chart' from your local auto paint supplier. The fleet charts are comprised of most the national trucking fleets and all of their non-metallic colors. Then you compare the RAL #2002 with a chip in the fleet chart and the auto paint dealer can mix it for you in any type and quantity you want.....

    I've been using my chart for over 25 years......
    BTW- I punched the holes...

    Hope this helps,
    Cheers
