Default Powder coat that will match switch housings

Does anyone know of a readily available powder that will match the factory switch housings? I have been using summit racing's "wet Black" on the parts I have done so far. A buddy wants his levers to match the switch housings. I see summit has a matte black, but was wondering if anyone knew of a close match, without me buying two or three to find one.

I buy my powder at www.powder365.com or www.powderbuythepound.com

They both have a very large selection of powders. Eastwood also has some, but I don't buy from them much. I think "black magic" from powder365 is a real close match.

HD puts it powder supply for bid every few months... lowest price wins... typically a 40% satin is a match but depending on who won the bid sometimes it gets as high as a 60% as well. best way to do it is check it next to color samples that is how we do it in the shop
