In my opinion powder coating would be better since it lasts longer but after a search I also found Kawasaki Metallic Phantom Silver 458. There's also a Frame Gentry Grey 671 color I came across which is darker.

If my memory serves me right the mid 2000's KX's had metallic flakes in the paint.

I don't think I'd hesitate going with the 458 Metallic Phantom Silver. That looks to be the right one.

Gentry is not the 2005 shade. That is 2003 or 2004.

Kawasaki's color code is 458 for the frame and swingarm on that model. I don't know how well one going to an auto paint dealer and telling them "458" is going to work.
