    Nice! I need to have 10715's fascias repainted as well. "Mineral Grey?" I actually like the metallic flecks.

    I'm not sure if it's what they used or if it was the original paint code. I'm hoping to remember to ask when I go by tomorrow to drop off some parts to be powder coated...

    Did you find out which paint code was applied? Somewhere along the line, a PO applied a coat over the original paint on my fascias that was clearly intended to "match" the stainless... but just looks wrong. Much too light. And it's peeling in some places, revealing spots of dark underneath. Oh, and they only did the upper halves - the paint below the black trim line is original. A real expert job.

    I did ask when I picked up the powder coats parts a few days ago- they used the Jeep paint code (it matched back to a Chrysler code too, apparently)

    I got the fascias on today, but didn't take time to take pictures as I was scrambling to get everything together to get the car to the exhaust shop... they look INCREDIBLE though compared to how they were before...

    It's not the best picture- and the fascia is unfortunately rather dusty which showed up really heavily thanks to the flash- but here's the installed front fascia...

    And to contrast, a similar shot from when I was removing the fascia before it was repainted...

    Can you post a pic or two?
    The code for mineral gray met. is 2011 Chrysler pdm or cdm. Another good code is alpha romeo 651 a. I recommend Basecoat/ ctear coat urethane. Do not forget to add flex agent to primer/ sealer and flex agent / flattener to your clear coat.

If worse comes to worse, I will get the formula on my next trip to the paint store(I go once a week).
