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. RAL Color chart |

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.
