To give you an idea, when I'm having my wheels done black next weekend, I asked that they color match the center cap on the wheel to my RRM paint. They say they can do it, so until proven otherwise, I'll assume it's possible. I'm pretty sure you can do just about any color.

From what I've seen, it's a strong possibility. But I would imagine that some paint colors may not be exactly the same, like the Synergy green. If you haven't already, you should check out Dip your Car on youtube. They have some awesome colors and materials to get the color/finish you desire.

+1 on this
....making that Synergy green wouldnt be the easiest but it is possible.

You really expand possibilities once you involve pears into the mix. KandyPearls DipSpade PearlsAndPigments. All of them give you a great supply of options

That looks awesome. I didn't the shots of the old color but from your avy that looks pretty good too. I am seriously tempted to do this. I need a paint job anyway

Thank you!
Do it!! You wont regret it if you get something you really want and quality is up to par. Plus your paint under it is being protected.
I have shots of the old color in my profile i think. Havent updated it in a while but they should be there

Wonder if someone could go behind the fender and pop it out now

I know the feeling... had someone slam their bike or shopping cart into the rear gills of mine and dent it fiercely...estimated damage was 1K but you can barely notice it in most light. Figured might as well keep the cash.

Color looks wicked btw.
