Title: What powdercoat color is closest to 88 Oem red
Post by: Action69 on April 01, 2020, 09:06:20 AM

Hello everyone as the title states I’m looking for suggestions on the closest powder coat color match to the 88 red,my last frame I had done was an 85 Atc 250r and I think it came out more orange similar to early 80’s cr.i sold off a lot of my stuff on Monday so I’m going to drop my 88 frame off and start a new project.I have mostly everything for the build so it should move quickly.hopefully.lol.Thank you for any input and suggestions.

Steven,
For powder coat: Prismatic...Red Baron.  Columbia Coatings...Traffic Red.

For paint:  Ford race red

This is from memory...I’ll verify later today
