Powder coat to match Paint???
Thinking about getting some of the chrome off my SG and I am thinking about trying to color match the paint, Red Hot Sunglow, with powder coat. Not sure if this is do-able, any powder guys out there........

check out these guys and see if there is someone like them in your area or if you can send it to them. They say if it can be done in paint they can do it in powdercoating: www.spectrumpowderworks.com

Matching powder to a paint can be done but it requires extra $$ for lab fees at the manufacturer. Some manufacturers also require a minimum quantity of powder be ordered to make it worth while... making powder coat is not as simple as mixing a few liquid paint colors.
There are literally thousands of colors available in powder coat so there MAY already be a color that matches but that will require a sample of your paint to compare to existing color charts.
I'll answer any questions you have on the process if that didn't cover it.

Get online and do some research.. There IS a company out there that will match your paint..ANY paint.. Also they can take ANY picture, or ART etc. and can transfer it as paint / powder coat to your bike..
I turned my local indie onto the site and he was flabbergasted. Like nothing he had ever seen.. I don't remember their name but have seen their awesome site and product samples.. You would not believe it.. Also their nose art samples are cute.!
I am sure someone knows which one I am talking about.. I think they are here in Fla. somewhere.. Good luck..
