Default NBM powdercoat?

I'm trying to locate some place that I can get a powder that most closely matches the Navy Blue Metallic on our cars. Can someone point me to somewhere that has such a powder?

I've painted the calipers twice now and continue to have issues with the paint chipping. I want to powdercoat for it's durability. I want to do this once and only once.

I think you have to mix to get the exact color. I might be wrong but thats what my buddy had to do for me.

^ like mentioned above.... just find any place that does powdercoating. If you want the exact color and they cant mix it.... they can send off a sample to where they get there stuff and get some mixed. I'm going to have to do that when I have my brakes powder coated SOM.
