I'm pretty sure traditional powder coating requires conductivity to make the powder stick to the charged part...plastic and fiberglass are non conductive, so it wouldnt work, not to mention the required 400 deg temps might dilapidate the part. There are other types of "baked on" finishes like cerakote in the gun-smithing world that might fit the bill, but I'm not sure about color availability.

edit...ok, I'm guessing I misread the queston, lol... My local powder coating shop works with a auto finishing company near by to use computer color matching to get a correct formula for automotive style finishes. I would think most finishing supply places, or auto paint suppliers would be able to color match your powder coat job.
