Powder Coating

[Todd L.]

Found a place I like that does powder coating in the Denver area. They use Cardinal, Dupont and Tiger Drylac products. Are they comparable in color, so if I have my valve covers powder coated chevy engine orange with dupont and the next time I have a brace coated and they use Cardinal will it be the same?
If the parts I have powder coated the correct color will I take a hit in judging?

1. I'd think the powder-coater would be the only one who can answer your color-match question.

2. If the powder-coating is obvious (and it usually is), you might get a "finish" deduction.
