Mongoose Dolomite Blue Paint.
Navigating this forum, like most forums, is a nightmare. I am wondering if anyone knows how I can duplicate the Mongoose Dolomite blue paint found on the rims of the blue Dolomite. Is the color formula available online somewhere? Has anyone had any luck replicating it? Any known paint manufacturer's color chips that seem correct? Thanks!

Navigating this forum is quite easy sometimes if you are brand new and not interested in the forum then it will be tough but if you take a minute you will navigate it more easily.
The Wally mart bike? You could ask Mongoose? That would be my first step beyond that I doubt the color formula or anything is available it is a bike from Wally-mart they probably expect the thing to be broken before someone worries about paint but they might know. You could also take the wheel to a nail salon and see if they can help match it, that is no joke. Nail Polish tends to be the best touch up paint.

I suggested the same thing on another thread. After I hit a deer with my pickup a few years back which dented in my front right fender, we bought a new fender and were going to have a family friend paint it for us. To get the right color of paint, we went to a paint shop where they had a device they put on the painted surface and it somehow reads the paint to give the formula to match the exact color. Of course this might be an expensive option for a Walmart Mongoose bike, depending on how much paint you intend to buy. I'm not sure what the OP plans on painting, whether touching up the wheels or painting the whole bike that color.

How to get you some bicycle community cred:
Vintage steel road bikes, CF frames= keep showroom perfect.
Mountain Bikes, BMX, Fat, Gravel, Urban Commuter= the more banged up the better. Ride until the wheels literally fall off. Start a collection of on-frame mud, inventory the scratches and dents. Every one of them tells a story.

+1 for nail polish. FWIW, I didn't have good luck with Lowe's paint matching. I took a frame in, they scanned it and mixed the paint. It wasn't even close. The guy could see that and apologized but I still had to pay for a quart of paint that didn't match.
