Powder Coat Wheels to MATCH Red Panels?
I went to have my wheels powder coated to match my Red panels. I brought along the hood for color matching. After going through all the brochure color and paint chip colors we could not find a color to match my hood. They came close but either to orange or to red.
Does anyone know the color code (& powder manufacturer) for a powder coat that will match the smart Red panels? If I can find this out the shop can do the job.
By they way he is only charging me $40 a wheel (no tire, weights, sensor, value stems) plus $10 for any color he doesn't carry in stock.
He says if I can't find the exact color maybe go black or have them painted.

Thanks for the info, Scott.
If I can't find the "Red Metallic" color match in a powder coat. I will then use a Black match.
