Powder Coat Match for 4XE Electric Blue

[AVGeek99]

Here is surf and whatever the hooks are next to one another…

But here is MerPinXEss nekkid and you would never know there are 6 different blues in this pic….

Unless I told u…
Fender, hood catch, steering wheel racing stripe -surf gloss clear
Running boards -surf matte
Hood logo, mermaid -oracle vinyl
Headlight/radio knob -Amazon aluminum ‘blue’
Turtle foot pegs -blue on etsy
Hair ties -blue at Walmart

Thanks for the close up pic, Surf is certainly a very close match to the hooks. So last question, I can't really tell in the picture. Does surf have any metal flake in it, or is it just solid with no metalic?

Thank you!!

The hooks are significantly lighter in person. Look at my swatch/decal on page one of this thread so you can see the amount of flake.

Thx u Gtor, forgot your page 1, great photos really caught the metalflake and the color of surf, And pic from Banned of mopar rear part on white background shows the no metalflake of the hooks in chief-ish.

Thanks for the quick responses, help, and pics @MerPinXEss and @GATORB8!!

So I brought the grill piece in to be painted at the local body shop. I'm having him painting it Chief (PBQ). It may not match the surf blue in the other 4xe accents but being so close to the front tow hooks I thought it would be better to match them.

Should be done by the end of the week, so we'll see how they look when I get it back and install it. Hoping the front tow hooks will come this week, so I can do it all at once. Will post pics when I'm done.

This is the powder color my shop match for my new coils. It looks very close to the hood decals.

The 4xe blue accents have arrived and been installed, at least the external ones. I replaced the stock black hooks (stock for a 2021 non-Rubi 4xe), with the mopar 4xe blue hooks (68531165AA front, 68531164AA rear). For the grill trim I ordered 6KM36TZZAA and had it painted Chief Blue (PQB) at the local body shop.

The Chief Blue isn't a 100% match to the Lagoon Blue on the tow hooks, but as you can see in the pics it is very very close. You really have to look for a little bit to realise they aren't exact matches. I'm, and more importantly my wife, are very happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for this thread. We were able to get this color due to it. Hoping to get it all mounted tomorrow.

(We are going with the top configuration)

And now this week I installed what I hope are the final blue accents on my wife's 4xe. I wish I had looked for the bumper inserts when I ordered the grill insert. Could have got everything done at the same time. I do have to admit I think it turned out pretty good.
