Honestly, we could probably get them close with powdercoating, but the longevity just wouldn't be there for us to take in on. To get something that would last long enough it'd probably have to be annodized (which we're not really equipped to do).
All we'll say is, we've got some hood graphics in the works
Sorry we still don't have on-truck photos on our site yet :/ Our local guy rescheduled till next Wednesday
Just buy all three and mix-and-match them for PEAK aesthetics!
Yeah I can see powdercoating not working out lol. Any idea how the paint code could be translated to be used for anodizing?
Honestly, no clue. I wish I could offer more advice but we've never done it so the process is probably miles different than print, or paint color matching
Are the tailgate decals matte or gloss?
Gloss. The previous version which has been discontinued was in matte. Unfortunately with a matte over laminate, it is nearly impossible to match the electric spice on the Tremor.
So, this is going to be pretty complicated to explain but I'll try my best! So after talking to our paint guys, the methodology we used to color match has zero correlation to color matching for paint or powder coat. The only benefit it would offer is to see a swatch (which really doesn't do much when it comes to paint or powdercoat mixes). So with printing graphics there's a mix of CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) which are the ink colors used to mix and make a specific color. The range for each color ranges from 0-100% so like 50% K and 100% M would give you a darkened magenta. Anyway, we took a print color swatch book (which doesn't give us CMYK values, just has the raw color swatch which we then have to play with the CMYK to try and match the swatch). Now here's where the annoying part comes in; there are different manufacturers of pantone color swatch books, all which use their own taxonomy. So if I say pantone 123, pantone 123 (lets say its a red) ONLY works if you're referencing the same swatch book as we have. Some other swatch maker might have pantone 123 be a violet.
Not to be particular but electric spice is substantially different than the active orange on the tremor. the dark block is electric spice, the yellow is my latest shot at a color match. Obviously print vs paint is a real thing, I'm learning.
Thanks for sharing! Will come in handy when using the online coloring for the calipers.So, this is going to be pretty complicated to explain but I'll try my best!

*Deep Breath* so, basically, we have identified a color based on the pantone swatch book we use internally for our printed decals that is a close match to the tremor orange. Ultimately sharing it has zero value to anyone outside of someone in the print industry since the color matching process is entirely different, and not standardized at all like auto paint. TLDR; It's complicated and our color code only works for people in the print industry, and even then, only if they have the same color swatch book to reference as we use.
But we won't leave you empty handed; The color match we found, has a swatch ~somewhat similar~ to pantone 144 on the website below. It's not the exact same by any means, and the color will vary depending on the device you're viewing on since its not super likely anyone is viewing on a color-corrected monitor at any given moment. But this is really all we can share without anyone in particular having the same swatch book we use in hand to compare to their truck. I wish we could offer more help, but we haven't gone down a tremor paint match at all, just a printed color match (which unfortunately translates zero to paint)
ANOTHER TLDR; The print code we have doesn't work for paint at all. Looks somewhat similar to pantone 144 at the link below, but without having the exact same swatch book we have in hand, the code doesn't even do anything since it isn't even the CMYK print ratios.

Good call, I've just heard the paint code called electric spice, active orange, tremor orange, and like 3 other names. It's all pretty confusing at this point if we're being honest! Doesn't help that the interior stitching, dash accents, and seat piping are all similar colors yet distinct. I think someone called it uncertain orange or something to that effect, which is pretty spot on from what we've seen (since Ford went wild with the color variance on these).
Of course, just wish we could offer a more useful solution on the paint color code front!
