Powder Coating source

[mikejana]

Starting to think about the next 2 bikes on my agenda. I've been gathering parts.

Wonder if anyone knows a source for powder coating powder that is correct for 1970 Mexican Yellow?
Serial number is Z50A-330406

And Emerald Green for a CT70 reto-mod?

A PC Candy Emerald Green would be something I'd like to see. I would imagine they could come pretty close to Mexican yellow.

Is this right for Dec 1979?

That bike is a 12/70. K2. Mexican yellow would be correct. Red or blue too.

Really like that Mexican Yellow.
Is your serial number similar?
Mine seems weird compared to the databases online.

 

[kirrbby]

That number is typical for a k2. I think they started around 227xxx (not sure about that) any 6 digit z50 vin higher that that is K2. K3's have 7 digits

There is a pretty close match of PC to the CandyRubyRed. I've seen it personally and it's beautiful.

I sold this a few years back. It had come with some other parts. Stunning when the sun hits it.

Thanks,

trying to do Mexican Yellow if anyone knows a powder coat source.

Bump,
Anyone know a correct source for Mexican Yellow Powder?

Ayers garage. Don't know if he still does though. Type in powder coat in the search box and look for it there.

I read that he isn't doing it anymore. I researched it before painting the red frame myself. I would have gladly sent it to him as he had a great match for red, knew what to pc and more importantly what not to. He did great work. Bummer.

His website is down.
I have a good Local guy, but need the powder.
I'm making an assortment of red and blue parts yellow. Don't have a Mexican yellow sample, otherwise I would send it to prismatic powders to match.
Prismatic powders seems to have good database of OEM matches, they have the bright yellow and parakeet yellow but not Mexican.
Anyone have a chip or sample we could send them?

Bump?
I'm ready to send my 1972 z50 frame, tank, muffler guard and headlight bucket out for powder coat.
Can anyone help with a correct source for color matched powder or sample chips or........

Thanks in advance.
