Does anyone happen to know what paint color (Code) or Powder coat color the crash bars are? Have this exact bike and would like to do the same to mine.

I went to two powder coat companies today and they could not match the rims.Screenshot_20230725_195931_Facebook.jpg

TIA

Lots of choices here.
for a project like this, I think Tiger Drylac or Forrest would be a better source than PPG

On my ‘18, the bars are powder coated with Cardinal Blue 90 Gloss, T009-BL01. Looks great and is a tough coating. Pretty close to what you’re looking for.

Try to find a powder coating shop that has the entire swatch set from Prismatic Powders. It's an incredibly expensive (about $4000) but there will be a blue in there that looks good.

The look great...any Idea what paint color was used
i found that bike on the webb the dealer has sold it on to so no way of finding out sorry, but as you can see its doable, my local paint guy on the estate buy me, if you rode the bike to him he would offer the swatches up to the rim to get a match with paint never failed to copy ant paints i,ve asked for so if you have a local company that does and mixes car paint they,ll match that wheel

unfortunately, pictures do not adequately represent color and appearance. A picture often looks good but the reality is something else

after 30 years in the industry I still confuse Forrest and Prismatic….must be the Oregon thing….Prismatic does have an impresssive stock color program
