Powder Coat Wheels to MATCH Red Panels

I went to have my wheels powder coated to match my smart red panels. I brought along the hood for color matching. After going through all the brochure's colors and paint chip colors we could not find a color to match my hood. They came close but either to orange or to red.

Does anyone know the color code (and powder manufacturer) for a powder coat that will match the smart red panels? If I can find this out the shop can do the job.

By they way he is only charging me $40 a wheel (no tire, weights, sensor, value stems) plus $10 for any color he doesn't carry in stock.

He says if I can't find the exact color maybe go black or have them painted.

You could try looking on the drivers side B pillar for the color code. There should be labels there.

It's an old color and not metallic but my 1963 Corvette is Riverside Red - almost an exact NON-Metallic match.

I recently painted my skirts just to get some paint on them and couldn't find a match even close. Stands out like a sore thumb.
