Color matching powder to paint

Is there a RAL paint code for specific paints? i.e. yamaha blues, kawasaki greens, corvette yellows, honda reds, harley orange, gm and ford colors?

Hi Jamie,
The names you mention are what we call "house colours" possibly created by the company design team. This does not mean that there is not a RAL colour that is close to them, but I would doubt it. You may end up having to have the colours matched which would be a costly exercise.
