Powdercoat color for Desert Bronze

[superdosser]

Hi,
Anyone know the RAL number for a powercoat that matches the Desert Bronze color on the trim of my 2000 LC?

thanks - Eric

I'd go visit your powdercoater and let him pull out the sample cards and find one as close to to Desert Bronze as you can get. You cannot do exact paint code matches with powder coating paints. You will get something very close but its a different process and different material than paint. I have a powder coat guy who does some awesome work, mixes custom colors etc. I asked him the same question recently about matching my River Rock Mica paint and he said we can get it very close but it won't be exact factory matched paint like you can order.

Trim will probably be easier to match than body panel paint. Are you doing the wheels? Can't wait to see your results, I consider matching wheels to trim for my white truck (grey trim), the wallet just hasn't been motivated for it yet...

Thanks guys, I'm looking to powdercoat front and rear fabricated bumpers. I figure that color shouldn't cost much more than 5 or ten bucks more than doing the typical black. I'll try and find a RAL color wheel and get something close.
