Anybody know of a match for House of Kolor Cobalt K

[Guest]

My neighbor wants some odds n ends chrome peices powder coated to match his custom paint job, which is House of Kolor Cobalt Blue.

I brought my NIC sample swatches over and both Bentley blue and Illusion blue are close, but it's kind of in between those colors.

I thought I would post here before ordering them just to see if by chance somebody has matched this Cobalt Blue before - he says it's very commonly used and Google searching yields lots of results.

Here's some links to pics of the color:

It's going over chrome, so I'm thinking that if I do the Bentley blue (candy) and do 2-3 coats it would darken it and make it pretty close.

That would need some testing... I would say trans blue over a darker base then chrome. Maybe Black chrome.

That's a good idea, hadn't thought of tat. Lay down a base of trans black chrome over the real chrome, then do a candy blue. That might be spot on!
