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.
