Default Powder coats that match the twisted cherry color

Recently started doing some powder coating and plan on blacking out all my engine covers but I want to coat my lower rocker boxes in twisted cherry to match the bike color and so everything isn’t totally black, anyone out there know where I could get some twisted cherry powder coat or know of a color really close to it? Color is very light sensitive, pictures below. Thanks in advance

Daniel Carmichael would probably know. You can find him on Facebook. He's also a member here, goes by Dune.

Off topic but about your bike - how did you do such a clean job of removing the tank logos? I don’t see any marks or discoloration which is my fear on my 2018 Twisted Cherry Road King. Never liked the 2018 logo, I’d like it bare or something more classic.

OK back to the rocker box, is there a high heat paint that could be mixed for that? Years ago a buddy rattle canned his EVO alum. cylinders black it lasted for years no chipping no peeling.

All the tins, fairings and bags are brand new that’s why there’s no residue left behind lol and I’m not sure about actual paint, I’ve got my own powder coating gun so just planned on powder coating all the covers, it’s more durable and can withstand high heat better than paint anyways if it’s done the right way. On metals I’d never use paint again with how quick, easy, and durable
powder coating is
