Premium Member avanti Posted August 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2015 Do you have the facility to powder-coat yourself or are you planning on taking parts somewhere to be done? If the former, there are places online to check for powders. If the latter, you need to see what the coater ha/can get. Most are pretty helpful. Just remember if you are taking parts to someone to have work done, be sure and mask anything (holes, threads, etc.) that you don't want coated because it is a real bear to get off later if you forget. A local coater says this happens more than one might think. All the best and show us what you are doing, when finished!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member avanti Posted August 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2015 Good for you! I suspect you will have to contact suppliers for color samples if you want a perfect match, since no one responding here seems to have already done this. But, do keep records and post what you find to help the next person, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkH Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You are powdercoating the entire thing, right, and all 3 pieces? Because there is just no powdercoating scratches or chips as far as I know. If that being the case, just use matte black. Don't use satin. Satin is way too glossy compared to the oem black painted parts. Matte matches the best. The few places I checked out, black was just black. Like they had no different blacks other than the finish and texture. Not sure if they just choose one type of black color and call it a day and throw out any other black color/tone choices, if so, then sorry I can't help you much there. I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not coating any of those pieces. I'm looking for a match to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
