The problem is that even if you have the sample from your customer and one from a manufacturer and you can get the basic color correct, the variables in the texture can actually change the color quite a bit. I hope I'm wrong...Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.
Well I figure maybe a little shade off, he isn't gonna sweat much. I saw a light testure and dark texture...but nothing in between? I emailed the guy and asked where he got that pic so maybe I can email the owner of that pic and get a company name from him. I'll be sure to let ya know how it goes...he hasn't got the valve cover here yet but if he does I wanna be ready to do it and get it out the door. I'm not about to order 55lbs of any custom color and have it go bad on me because I don't use it that often.
