I do my own powder coating and am trying to find a blue that matches the ford blue flame (or close). Like the blue valve covers they sell. Anyone have any suggestions?

Are you looking for the color code? I've always had good luck with Dr. ColorChip but I don't think that is what you're looking for.

Yea... I've used powderbythepound and other sources.... but I mostly buy black. I'm not looking for an exact match just something to use for all the little stuff under the truck that I will be adding (like the alignment cams, skid plates, tie rods, ect). I don't want to have to order a ton of samples to get it right.... was hoping someone has already picked a good one and I can use that....

Ok... so while the lights were out at the super bowl... started to do some searching.... here are the colors that come close to what I am looking for. Again, I'm not looking to match the blue flame color exactly.... but something that will compliment the exterior and give the underside a little bling.... Here is what I came up with.

Powder Coating Equipment Colors Guns Paint Systems Cost
ANODIZED BLUE TRANSPARENT
BLUE OVAL RACING WRINKLE

My current favorite is the Blueberry-metallic

Thoughts?

So I ended up using ford dark blue...see pic.
So far I have powdercoated the following
- oil seperator bracket
- cam alignment nuts
- fox 3.0 external resevoir mounting plate
- ICON lca skid plates

So far I really like it
