Disclaimer: Perfect color-matching is usually not possible since different manufacturers use different materials for different parts. It's also not uncommon for two different production lots of the same part, from the same manufacturer, to vary slightly in color.
Le Chuck suggests a method [here] that involves dyeing parts.
". . . buy white plastic everything then dye it all together to the same shade of pink, then take a sample of that to the paint store/hobby store and have them scan it and give you a pantone color code and use that in the graphics then have it match printed at a sign maker."
As long as the parts can all be dyed the same shade, this process is likely to result in precise color matching between the parts, paint, and printed art.
Color Code Key and Sample Table
- Black = Same part
- Green = Good color-match
- Yellow = Somewhat color-match
- Red = Definitely does not color-match
