    Hey All,

    I'm making a modified front plate for my TJ11 out of Aluminium. But once it's done I obviously need it to match the current color of the TJ11.

    I've seen it done many time on the TJ07 and LiLi cases, so it must be possible, but not sure how.

    It is as simple as taking to get powder coated and all 'blacks' and roughly the same? Or do I need to have the whole case re-done to ensure the colours are the same.

    Any advice appreciated... Cheers!

    To be sure it's best to paint all parts.

    I thought the TJ-07 was aluminium and therefore anodized, not painted.

    I made a front panel for the TJ11 for a recent issue of Custom PC. I used satin black Plastikote spray paint and it was a pretty darn good match for the stock paint - definitely worth a try.
