The last samples that I received seemed all very close. so I needed a way to narrow the list down. I scanned the Brembos with the color analyzer for reference and selected the top 8 visually and scanned those samples, and then ranked them by (RGB) color numbers from 1 to 8 and visually compared the top 4 to the Brembos. I ranked the samples visually and it aligned perfectly to the ranking from the color analysis. I asked my wife to do the same, and she selected them in the exact same order. The top three were all extremely close and would have been very acceptable.

So what do you think?
The color used was Passion Red from Prismatic Powders:

I got the decals on eBay here:

I found a local powder coating company through Prismatic's website:

Siek Performance Powder Coating
5525 Schultz Dr.
Sylvania, OH 43560

Phone: (419) 442-7286

Jason at Siek did a great job on the calipers. I have only one bad thing to say about him - he's a Mustang guy
