I can't help you with who that was, but the powdercoater that I use has a multitude of colors to chose from.

I sure you would be able to get a close match on your color at any good powdercoating shop.

I'm going to be painting several parts with that color this winter. The paint is pricey, but if you can wait, I can paint them...

Yes, that is an issue. I use only House of Kolor paint and they only have HiTemp Black available. For other parts, I can take care of you, but the high heat parts are not something I can do.

Where are you located? I know of a powder coater in Lansing, MI that does a great job.

This is who I use. They are a first class company, and go out of their way to make sure I get quality results. Ask for Greg, tell him the vet with the black bike sent ya.

Powder coat colors are available in literally thousands of colors, gloss levels and textures. If a company doesn't have the exact color you're looking for a custom color can be made to match. I've had it done several times and it was dead on every time.
