I sent them a e-mail as I can't be the first person trying to match Fox Shocks (the make auto, MTB, and various others and all use their orange across the line up)

I had already searched their site for you and didn't find anything. When I was looking to match Magnetic, once I put Ford J7 paint code in the search box on their site it came up with several results saying that the 2 that I got samples of were really close to magnetic. One was slightly lighter, one was slightly darker, but both were damn close. Hopefully they can find it for you.

I had eibach paint my springs in orange and the upper control from RPG and R1 Rotor hat is anodized orange

Fox is more matte finish vs gloss on springs

So I got the samples today. The closest match of the group is the Tropic Orange, but still not a 100%. I emailed the photo to them to see if they had any other suggestions. Will report back once I know more.

No sorry. I ended up PCing black as I couldn't find a match close enough to make me happy. Everything was a little off.

I ordered 4 swatched from prismatic powders and none of them were close enough for me to be happy, so I ordered 10 more last night. I hope one of them is. Prismatic powders recommended to me all gloss finishes and the finish of the Fox Shocks is pretty flat as it is anodized. Hopefully I can find a match, or I will be doing black as well, or just leaving them the ugly silver which I really didnt want to do.
