It's not paint, it's a standard blue powdercoating.

LOL

You can't powdercoat plastic. Only metals.

If you want that stuff the same color, get Duplicolor Metalcast Groundcoat and the Metalcast Blue coat.

Metalcast is great! It really looks professional. I did my brake calipers with it. Its lasted 3 years with minimal chipping. If you do it yourself, just remember: the better you prep the surface, the better your paint will last.
