It's mighty close, Tony and cut yourself some slack. As you may know, color is one of the more complex aspects of Nature and the human eye.

Is the powdercoater going to reshoot it for you since it didn't match to your satisfaction?

Even so, it sure looks better than stock.

Its close, it would have been fine, nobody would have noticed or said anything, but i have dozens of reds i have done in the past and i think the other color will match better...maybe perfect. Although it is not out of the realm of possibilities he will do them a 3rd time. Luckily he has some nasty B12 chemical that all they need is quick swim in it and the powder is gone.

Copy that, Tony and I didn't know, but should have I suppose, that a stripping chemical exists. I thought they might have to sandblast it.
Will that chemical work on your avatar's top?

Chemical is nasty, and possibly NLA for normal use, seems pretty hard to get but really don't know. I used to have some in a gallon can. If the powder is done correctly even sandblasting off is a Pain. This chemical laughs at powdercoat, amazing.

What is the trick with installing the sticker overlays? I tried it tonight, didn’t go well.

Where did you order the high temp wrap from? I couldn’t find it on the Bemaro web site.
I didn't use a wrap for the e-brake caliper. I had them painted to match the brake calipers.

Do you know the paint code for the caliper paint?
