Factory Gold color for my 86 250R??

[trx250r_ryder]

Im trying to find the factory gold color or something that will match. If I could get a paint code, type of paint, etc...it would help alot. Im getting ready to redo my swing arm, a-arms and rims and I want the bike to look original. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I just dont want it to be the wrong color when its done.

The gold on the swingarm and the a-arms is very hard to match. Honda does not offer paint codes or touch-up paint for this color and I'm not sure if they ever did. When I did my resto, my powder coater found a gold for the swing arm that is nearly perfect, but he couldn't do the a-arms because of the rubber on the ball joints and in the bushing area. I did alot of hunting and found auto body touch-up paint that is very close, but I have no idea now what color or what kind of car it was from. One thing to be aware of, the gold on the Pro-Link decal should NOT be an exact match to the color of the swingarm. The rims were not painted, they are anodized gold.

I will now be a post whore and repost a few pics of my resto. :D

Dup-la-color has a bunch of touch up colors in the 16oz spray can or the little touch up bottle for the autos. Matches up to automotive finish close as I have ever found.
You would need to check the auto part supply houses.
Advance Auto Parts carries it in NC.
