Thanks! I really like the way it turned out. The finished product has a slight metallic in it. The sample showed a lot more metallic but I'm glad it came out less glittery.

The gray is from PPG's Envirocron line. I did not write down the name but I think the code was PCT 75103 from my notes. My coater doesn't normally go through PPG but it was the only color that came close to matching some of the paint on our Camaro for the housing. Since it wasn't from their normal vendor we had to buy the whole box so I decided to do my frame the same color. They called it a heavy duty coating and the powder was almost 3x the cost of their normal stuff. My business gets steel parts for the ag industry coated about once a month and this stuff does feel a lot tougher than what we normally do. I haven't got the invoice yet but they said it'd be about $300 to do the frame. I'm not sure how that stacks up to other places. These guys are 2 blocks from my office so they're convenient.
