Anyone happen to know what the color code/name is for the Salsa Beargrease wheel blue?
I suppose an email to salsa might answer that but not always quick to respond so help me out please......
I emailed Salsa last night about the Grape Ape purple on the frame and got a response this morning that they don't know the paint code used in Taiwan for that color (decal). If you find an answer I'd appreciate knowing who was able to answer.
In my case they could but the time and money increase quite a bit. I'm looking for a powder match. First they mix a wet paint in-house to sample. Then they send the sample off to their distributor to have a custom powder mixed. Next we purchase an extremely small quantity of this custom color for a final proof.
Well I'm just trying to specify for some wheels I wanna have built that I won't be able to proof. Blasting pics back and forth is probably close but just in case seemed easier if I could just says " bla bla blu" and be done with it instead of being surprised when opening the box. I send surly an email and recd theis in reply....
"Hey Erik, the bummer here is that I don't have access to the color number from our Taiwanese paint shop. I'd reckon the PC shop you are using could get close if not spot on; I just don't have a number/code for you.

So I guess it's take a chance on a shop far away that I don't know and go from there...... Thanks for the help gentleman!
I'm fairly certain the color number he's referring to would be what's known as the RAL number. Try to get that from him. Armed with that number, any powder coater should be able to fix you up.
