Powder Coat Color To Match Fox Live Valve Shocks

[Vegas_Sirk]

I sent them a e-mail as I can't be the first person trying to match Fox Shocks (the make auto, MTB, and various others and all use their orange across the line up)

I had already searched their site for you and didn't find anything. When I was looking to match Magnetic, once I put Ford J7 paint code in the search box on their site it came up with several results saying that the 2 that I got samples of were really close to magnetic. One was slightly lighter, one was slightly darker, but both were damn close. Hopefully they can find it for you.

I had eibach paint my springs in orange and the upper control from RPG and R1 Rotor hat is anodized orange

Fox is more matte finish vs gloss on springs

Prismatic email me back:

You might try these:


TRANSPARENT COPPER

TROPIC ORANGE

ORANGE SHERBERT

INDY ORANGE


As always, we would highly recommend ordering a free swatch of our recommended colors online from our website. https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors

Going to order up those samples and will report back when I know more.

Yea I thought it was weird they would recommend that color. The rest of the samples made more sense to me as I knew that would be more of a bronze.

So I got the samples today. The closest match of the group is the Tropic Orange, but still not a 100%. I emailed the photo to them to see if they had any other suggestions. Will report back once I know more.

Any updates, I’m doing the same thing right now for my eibachs.

No sorry. I ended up PCing black as I couldn't find a match close enough to make me happy. Everything was a little off.

I ordered 4 swatched from prismatic powders and none of them were close enough for me to be happy, so I ordered 10 more last night. I hope one of them is. Prismatic powders recommended to me all gloss finishes and the finish of the Fox Shocks is pretty flat as it is anodized. Hopefully I can find a match, or I will be doing black as well, or just leaving them the ugly silver which I really didnt want to do.
