help with desired powder coat color

hateface · 05-02-2011, 09:48 PM

Well the powder coating guy I'm going through told me he orders his powders through http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Tem...olled_Powders/ and told me to pick. I want something that looks like this (can't remember where I found these pictures)

from the pictures it looks like a weird glossy matte, possibly just how the light hits it....but looking at the site it's hard to tell what this would be or look like applied....can anyone offer some help?

thanks.

Picking out blacks on the computer is not going to work. It may however be black 20% gloss or maybe black 60% gloss. Not positive though. You need samples. If you car is not black, I would roll with Black Mirror and have it glossy. If your car is black, then I would roll with the black 20% gloss for contrast. Good luck and post pics when you are done.

yeah it's jetblack, there are some pics with 20% gloss on that site and that's what I was leaning towards
