        The Sun Gold gets really light with a clear shot over it. The wheels we did were shot without a clear, per the customer's request.

          Like Kiel said, the Sun Gold gets a lot lighter with a coat of clear on it. It loses that bronze-ish look and looks a lot closer to you picture.

          Only thing I've noticed is that it will of course have that wet look with a clear coat, at least the couple I've tried. Sun Gold would be a good start though...

            I agree, although it's hard to tell from pictures, which seems to always be the case

            I've never seen that bike in person, but zx10's picture looks like it's too bright...

              See what I mean? I agree that Sun Gold may be too dark, but it's just hard to tell how dark the original color really is on a computer...

                I have yet to find an exact match to any of the dozen different golds they use on the sport bikes. Some have as many as 4 different colors of gold on the same bike!

                Here is NIC Pearl Gold with Satin Clear. Might be close.

                Like Harleydad says, it's hard to tell from pics and computers. This pic shows way more brown than they actually are.

                    That looks like a match to me.

                      Here's another close one. NIC Alloy Gold. This has a lot of metallic though. The Pearl Gold is much more subdued.

                        NIC is your best bet for a selection of golds - they have a ton of them.

                        They'll send out the (small) sample panels for free, but remember to ask for a total price w/shipping (2 pound min) before nailing down a quote too tight - your materials cost will be significantly more than usual.
