need this color:
in a spray can ->

went to a few paint stores and gave them the hex code #041e57, but they cant use that color code, they say that i need to bring in a piece to color match it, but i dont have any mag blue wheels laying around :-\.... has anyone ever done this??? ... let met know how i can do it without bringing in the rim.

Thanks in advance

 

you can have a paint store custom make you a similar almost identical color and have them put it in spray cans- bring in a laptop with a large picture on the screen and have them try to color match it

 

You cant do that, paint is a multi-process multi-layer process which requires knowing exactly whats in it. You can give them a high res picture of it and have them try to get you something close to it, but it wont be anywhere near perfect.

 

if you get it please PM me info on it. I need some too for my CE28Ns

 

Good luck in getting this, even if you can get it, be prepared to pay big $$

 

I'd say the hassle isn't worth it, and solve it by just going to a paint shop, and having the wheels powder coated....

 

no guarantee the color will be exact but they can get it close- have them even make a few samples that you can preview... but get extra cans made in case you need touch-ups.... I went though about 3 cans and you may need to touch-up from time to time- save the color codes they used in case you need more down the road

same issue with color-matching, but this is the less-hassling way to do it for sure- again, save the color code or name of color used in case touching up is ever needed down the road

 

It's going to be very very hard for them to get close without something for them to see in person.
We powder coated this for a customer and it actually looks pretty close.......

 

^^^^^^^^ these guys^^^^^^^^^^^ (thumbsup)

 

Napa should be able to do it! at least the guys by my place can do it! goodluck!

 

dam thats pretty good, do you have a paint code i could give my local paint store???

 

Ford Twilight Blue is close.
