Just because Cardinal apparently no longer produces that color does not mean there isn’t a full or half used bag of that color sitting in the store room of a powder coating shop.

you have nothing to lose by making some phone calls to powder coating shops that are near to you.

Be careful with the shelf life of powder coat paint.  It tends to absorb moisture from the atmosphere and becomes unusable.  I have seen it become lumpy in the bag.  Even when it looks goods but has been open for more than six months (or even less) it applies fine and then can become chalky on the part it was applied to after a year or two.  It is best to only use fresh powder paint.  This is easy to do because powder paint is inexpensive.

They now date stamp powder paint containers to help you know how fresh it is.

Also, a pound of powder paint goes a long way.  One pound can probably coat four wheels.  Again, since it is cheap, go with two pounds just in case.
