Matching Serotta Paint

Purchased a steel Colorado off the forum (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showth...rotta+colorado) and sent it off to Bilenky for S&S conversion.
Their painter is having a hard time matching the paint.
Is there anyone here that's familiar with Serotta's paint?

Thanks,
David Weidler

Get in touch with Bill MacDonald. He was the painter for Serotta and now has hung his own shingle.

Cool. I wonder if Bill can even do touch up paints? That would be awesome.

Better than that, I have both parties in contact with each other.

A big thanks for the help.

That color looks like the color Serotta called "anthracite," which is a metallic charcoal grey that can have pinkish or bluish highlights depending on the light. Bill MacDonald can definitely match the color--I had him paint a frame in that color post-Serotta. The issue you will likely have is that it's extremely difficult to match the color exactly, so it may be difficult to do a "touch up."

Back to square one.
Mr. McDonald couldn't come up with a match.

Any further help?
