color match powder coating Ford sterling grey metallic

[Hole Shot]

You can order color swatches from prismatic. Just call them and they will send you one or couple. and hell a pound of powder is like $15 get a couple you think are close and have your coater do some test outs and tell him to keep what you don't want. Then let me know I have been wanting to do the same thing. Lol

Yeah just decided to go with kingsport Grey. Its not a perfect match but its really close. I would say it is just barely darker, can only tell in good lighting. Looks the same shade when cloudy or at night and it probably has a small amount more of a metallic look. I order swatches and this was the closest without a doubt. Should have the bumper this week and it will go straight to the powder coater and be there for a week. I'll report back after its finished with pics and comments

i still have to get pics but with the crazy weather here i am not sure when i can get some clean shots. its hard to describe but the color looks a bit lighter, although the grey is a bit darker but with the metallic it makes it look lighter. its not a perfect match but its close. i love the look of it i wish the fenders were the same. the metallic in the coating really pops on the curves when the light hits it. like i said its not a perfect match but its close enough and i am happy with it.

pics will come as soon as i can get some quality ones to show the difference

What did your coater charge you to strip and coat the bumper?

$275 for blast, acid wash, primer coat, and finish coat. Thats for bumper, skid, and all hardware.

That's not bad!
I just bought a new front fender flare first week of January and it's a hair darker than the other three.
I can only assume weather, sun, wax, etc. have lightened them up a bit.
I need a new bumper and want to do the skid plates the same as the fender flares.
I'll be in contact with you later this year.
Thanks Nick
