Sky Blue Powder Match

[Robertk]

Hello All!

Does anyone have a recommendation on a powder coat color that is a close match to Schwinn's Sky Blue?

Thanks!

AAA Powder coating in El Monte California did a fantastic job on my 1975 Schwinn Super Sport.

Thanks Bikepeddler.

I'm actually looking for the Schwinn color called 'Sky Blue' which is more of a candy blue. Anybody have a good match?

Maybe check out a House of Kolor catalog. I think professional painters even are challenged to have a good match when they're correctly replicating the process for Sky Blue (which I'm pretty sure is candy paint). I can't imagine the results of powder being very good. This is why I'm leery of ALL repaints. It's never the same...

Thanks - yeah agree on repaints, etc.

There were a few versions of the Sky Blue. What year bike? The late 70's and early 80's version is definitely not the same as the 60's Sky Blue. I think Schwinn renamed the Radiant Blue to Sky Blue in the late 70's.

Not powder coat but Krylon Baby Blue is a pretty close match. Gary

Thanks GT. My mistake. I am looking for the late 70's early 80's Sky Blue.
