Name that Yamaha Gold color

[bowtieboy]

Ive got a DX225 Im in the process of fixing up. Currently it has silver forks/rims, Im looking to paint them gold. Im wondering what color is out there that is similar to how they were back in the 80s?

So far Ive really only seen Tremclad Copper Hammered that has a slight resemblance.

Any help appreciated.

i actually called the yamaha dealership and asked this very question about my tri z since i was going to paint the rear hubs off a raptor this same color. They couldnt tell me what color is was, but said that yamaha used a company to match all their paints since all their golds were the same on trikes and road bikes.

Good to know.

I guess Ill have to search around and see what I can find that is fairly similar, whether it be copper or gold color.
