Well, if you like the wrong red, they came out great lol. His workmanship was good.

Apparently he doesn't have the correct red to match the 6th gen 6 pistons, so I volunteered to find it for him. When I discovered Prismatic Powders and asked if he used them, he surprisingly told me yes, but didn't get his red from them and that they don't have paint codes for their colors. If you look at Prismatic's site, you'll see they have literally every color under the rainbow and then some. Even custom mixed colors have item numbers. Prismatic will send you up to 5 free swatches if you're trying to match something.

I was going to buy the paint and send them to him to finish, but I think that I've just had enough. It's my busy season at work and I shouldn't be doing the leg work, buying the paint he should've bought before taking the job, then shipping things back and forth on my dime. When I get around to matching the paint I'm probably just going to bring them somewhere local.
