Default Gold paint code.....

Hi all,


I've had a decent quote for refurbing 4 17" standard STi Enkei wheels.


However, the quote came through as TSW gold.
Looking on Google images, this isn't the gold I'm after, it's miles out and very yellowish that looks more like a Bugeye shade.


Mine is a 2007 Spec D, and I will be getting my silver rims off soon but want them re-furbed in gold, to sell at a later stage or keep as a change.


I found a really nice set of silver ones about a month ago so will be putting them on soon after all the road salt etc has gone.


Anybody know if the 2007 Hawk (or Blob) shade of gold has a code or a name that the refurb people would / should know?

Subaru uses three shades of gold for their wheels

Gold BU0483 (1998-2008)




BBS Gold GK1 (2006)



Enkei Gold L920 (2004)

Ah wicked, thanks DC.
Good job I spotted TSW on the quote, I would've been gutted if they'd done them in that gold. Then where do I go from there?!

L920 it is then, and thank you very much

Any half decent auto paint shop in your area will be able to make it for you now that you have the code
