Does anyone know the color code or formula whatever for the amber/orange rims? I'm powdercoating some custom parts and want them to match as close as possible.

Thanks ahead of time!

Yes, Please, I'm looking to do my Heel guards, Pegs, Levers, and possibly my Triple trees.
Looked in at least 4 powder coat books, but I cant find anything close.

Good luck!!!!!!! I had 2 stripes painted on my xb to match the rims & it still isnt a perf match. I looked through millions of paint chip books & finally took off the front rim to bring into a paint shop to scan the rim to match color. Any powdercoated colors are hard to match, black being the exception. Just my .02 cents worth.

Dako, they sell the levers and heel guards in amber finish, why fight trying to do what's already been done?

I know very well what is invovled and I'm pleased to be able to spare you some heartache by telling you that you can't do it.

It's a SERIES of processes and the sequence and timing are critical.

What are other options. My dilemma is that I have custom heal guards and a custom billet cover. Of course, I can just powdercoat them black or have them anodized. Any ideas from that?
