    Mike - I go to the paint store with a sample all the time and match stuff.......

    Customer just sent in a Yeti cup that was powder coated, we are painting his headlights the same color. You can get PRETTY close on some stuff, they have thousands of chip books to look at.

    I use Florissant Auto Paint, as I know you are local - great guys there, always willing to help!

    Jeremy are you matching powder coat or auto paint? I know I can get Green Go paint for sure, but was looking to match a powder coat. I guess I could also try find a higher heat paint to match since it’s goimg on the calipers. Just don’t know if regular auto paint will hold up as well as powder coat.

    @Mike G Did you ever find what you were after. Would love to see pics of the calipers powder coated that color.

    I have not found an exact match no :( but I think I did find something very close, and with it behind the black wheels it will be hard to tell it’s not exact. :) Color on Right on the trunk pic. It will probably be late April early May before I get them done thou.

    It is off a little but I agree that behind the black wheels people probably won’t notice the difference. Gonna look great when done

    looks like you need less yellow in it. I see lot of yellow in both. Im not sure if green go is a new name for an old color like sublime green was

    Actually the one on the right needs just a little more yellow in it and it would match perfectly! Hard to tell by the pic

    Going to look awesome.

    I have a question regarding your fender Scat Logo,
    does the one on the other side also face the rear? and if so, where did you get them?
