I want to paint the Reutter rack signal red like my 64 coupe.
Also want it durable and useable as in lashing on whatever junk i might desire to bring home. Also lash on duffle bag etc.
Looking for ideas on paint matching. There are places that will color match powder but from what I have seen min. purchase quantities are relatively large.
Ideas??
Reutter luggage rack - painted body color - powder paint?

Ashley,
The eye is going to read the color on small tubes differently than on relatively broad surfaces like the deck lid.
If I remember correctly, the color on a tube will read darker, so if you can find a powdercoat that's similar but a bit lighter, I think you'd be in good shape. You might try to get a powdercoater to do a small sample.

Thanks Ron. Have a very good shop I use near by but over the phone she offered no encouragement for exact color match.
I'm going to try your idea on them. Makes sense to me.
