Default Re: Powder Coat Primer with Wet Paint Top Coat?

I talked to an NIC rep, and they said I'd either have to send them a chip (not feasible) or pick a near match and they could send me some chips to select and order the closest match. This would take too long, I'd still only get a close match (or more likely a not-so-close match since I'm not experience with matching), and they require a minimum quantity of 5lb - when I'd be using maybe 1/4lb. I want to provide a durable, near-perfect-matched but reasonably fast and economical option to customers, and I think wet paint over powder primer could do this.

Thanks for the suggestions, though! I'll definitely keep NIC in mind for one-off colors. They seemed helpful. I haven't gotten through to Columbia yet...
