Default Paint color matching?

Anybody know where I could get some paint made to match my powdercoating? Jeremy is gonna check with the powder company, but I figured I'd ask here too, maybe a bodyshop can match it? I've tried five different colors of spray paint and none of them are even close. Sherwin Williams can match the base color, but it doesn't have metallic in it, and it's a brush on paint. I had the wheels powdercoated charcoal metallic, but I have to spray the centercaps cause they're plastic. Thanks.

Wooding's Auto Body. Best in the area by far. Cuz's in Salem isn't bad either. Both of them can match most anything.

Yep. Go talk to Marvin, and tell him that Chad that races go-karts with him told you to talk to him.

Yeah. It's like when you go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get house paint. The put the piece under a scanner and the computer dispenses the right amount of the different colors of paint.
