Default Powder coating colors

Hello all, looking for some suggestions on a powder color for my luggage rack. I have a 2011 FLTRX in Sedona Orange, it is a close match in color to the 2013 FLTRXSE2 in Atomic Orange.

I recently picked up a stealth luggage rack at a swap meet in Daytona, and need to get it recoated due to light road rash. I was thinking of doing the base in Sedona Orange/Atomic Orange, and the fins in Galaxy Grey or gloss black. I gave my local coater my CVO side cover and they were not able to come up with anything out of the color swatches that they have.

Any color suggestions from the pros here, or anybody have the orange or grey done before?

Thanks.

I'll get my parts back from the local coater this weekend, where should I mail them to? Also any ballpark idea on cost, depending on how these parts turn out I'll have more to ship to you.

Also those red gauge trim rings look amazing, did you disassemble the gauges and coat, or are those harley's chrome rings with the glue on the back that you stick over the stock?
