Exclamation BLOBEYE/HAWKEYE STi ALLOY GOLD PAINT ???

As above, anyone know what the paint code and/or official name is of the light gold-coloured paint on these 17" 10-spokes?

Would it be Saffron Yellow 058?

Also, the Prodrive gold is quite a WRC-mimicking light gold - but is it lighter than than the Blob/Hawk STi alloys' paint? If so what's the Prodrive paint code/name too?

Sorry, Simon, I'm only after the paint codes... I want to buy a set of 18" 15- or 16-multispokes (of whatever make), then spray them in one of the gold colours mentioned...

But I appreciate the offer, regardless.

Simon, I take it you meant you had a set of OEM STi v.8/9 17" 10-spokes?

Or do you mean an aftermarket set, pre-sprayed in the STi gold?

I always get that wrong - always think it happened at STi MY03 ("v.8").

Not sure if this is the exact match tho for your wheels.

Try this dwilliams@speedlinecorse.co.uk.

Cheers milliemooo - that's most helpful!

Did you buy the paint and repaint, or touch up, your Speedlines? Was it a proper match?

Are you saying that the colour named above was a bright light gold... or the previous owner's paint on the wheels?

If the former, then that's exactly what I'm after - a bright, light gold - a la Prodrive's gold wheels on their WRC works cars. So looks like that colour, Akzo Nobel 7e81208, will be perfect...
