I want to powder coat my engine tins, but am not sure which color will match the L32k Phoenix red. Anybody ever do a porsche color conversion to RAL colors?
Here is a chart, but it is difficult to match with a chart.

The powder coater I use said they can do any color, Never tried to pe\rfect match though, just use your paint code, I would think..

You would either have to get the body metal perfect ($$$$$$$$$$) or use a filler that could stand being cooked at about 500 degrees for a little while. Which means body solder, which is (again) more expensive to do then using even the best plastic fillers.

Zach, he's talking about his engine tin not the body itself

I agree. IMHO black is the way to go...
