    roll bar color to match wheels - any pics?

    I'm thinking about either powder coating or painting my roll bars to match the color of the inside of the FFR wheels. If anyone else has done this, can you post pics. Also, does anyone have any information on the paint code for that color?

    For the color code I would suggest you call FFR. Otherwise you be going through chip books, and chips don’t always reflect the actual color.

    Going from memory and I may be in error but I believe in the past the color code of the wheels has been discussed and the answer from FFR was they have used different suppliers for the wheels over the years and the color has varied slightly.
    I think matching the bars to the wheels could be a cool look. Since they are not directly adjacent to each other I think you get easily get a close enough match by using samples that nobody would be able to see the difference without them being right next to each other.

    If you have a "high end" custom or hot rod shop (i.e. Gas Monkey) in your area, they can match your wheel color. I used a shop in Tucson (for a previous project) and they matched the color perfectly! However, it wasn't cheap!

    MisterAdam: Agreed! But they can still match the paint!
