I'm thinking about this blue:
he can color match to an extent. as long as there is a powder in that exact color or something very close. its not like paint where you can mix your own colors. you have to buy the already made powder. but im sure he has that or something almost the same.

That looks like an anodize on aluminum material. What happens if you just anodize it? I think the calipers made out of aluminum as well.
