Hey guy's in kind of a tough spot. I'm looking to find this pearl/candy pink color.

I bought this steering wheel a few years ago from Pink Godzilla. And i'm trying to paint a few parts of the car this color but it doesn't seem to be going that well.


I've gone to a few paint supply places and custom paint supply shops and people either say there is no way to make the paint, or some people claim it to be vinyl, others claim they could make it. So i've had 2 samples mixed up and the color wasen't anywhere near what we thought. :picardfp: So now i'm here.

The wheel is made by BIG END in japan, you can find them on Yahoo Japan auction, but i can't find a website or a contact number for who to email and ask for the paint color. Or if there is a way i can find what company makes this color.

Maybe someone on here knows the color or something close?

Do you have automotive-specific Sherwin Williams stores in your area?

I'm friends with a reginal store manager of a Napa, And Napa uses Sherman Williams paints, And he did alot leg work trying to find a "match" and his color came out even worse than the second places try. Maybe i'll look for a Sherman Williams.

looks like the same color is Ernie's car before he changed colors. He used a flat metallic. Looks like the same color with clear over it.
