Can anyone recommend a known true powder coat to match the Pilot FL400 red?

Brand and Color?

Thanks, Curtis

I find the red is a good match but if you want to get closer find a local powder coat shop and see if you can purchase some powder from them, bring in a sample to match, front bumper or pull off one of the down tubes from the cage.

Thank You Kuma.

I think that I am going to have them sprayed at a local auto body shop. I guess the correct color is a r110 monza red. I am trying to do a lite restoration on one of my pilots and got my hands on some Hondaline nerf bars and rear bumper. I want them to have the correct color for a true factory look. I’ll bring them to get a few quotes next week. I’m curious if it will be more expensive than powder coat?

I wanted to follow up on this with my findings. I had a aerosol can of the R110 monza red made. While it was an exact match to the roll cage it did not match the frame. I compared it to the frame section that is in front of the steering wheel that is normally covered by a pad (not ever in the sun). I also grabbed a part that I had powder coated passion red. Below are some photos. I am going to have my parts powder coated passion red to match the true factory color.

I have to say, I think the passion red is an exact match. Cage is fresh powder coat.

Thanks methodical! It’s starting to come together :-)

Cut up my side panels tonight for the nerfs :shock:
