Powder Coating

Okay, I have a bike where I had rims powder coated a black chrome, but he didn’t match the sprocket cover which is plastic, but he was going to have it color matched. He didn’t do this. What paint color will match so I can do it myself? Also, how do I go about this? Do I sand it and then just spray it? Do I use a clear coat?
They don’t make a metal sprocket cover, it is a Can Am Spyder, and your lucky to get a plastic one at the price I paid it should be metal.

Ideally you would want to powder coat it as well, it wont look the same. My dad runs a ceramic chrome/Powder Coating business and he repairs/refinishes DIY jobs all the time. You can just go get black spray paint and try it but the powder coated material was sand blasted to white metal then coated and baked. Nothing you will do with a spray can and clear spray will get within a mile of that. Sorry but that is the nature of the beast. To color match, look at the color and get it as close as possible. If you had a pic of the rims you want to match a color to, i might be able to recommend a better method but for now, just do what you feel is best for your wallet and idea.

I bought a part for my jeep that is powder coated black, I want to paint silver, HOW?
