Look up Motor Factors in yellow pages or try somewhere like Halfords, Charlie Browns, etc.

Nissan Gold from Halfords looks good.
You will need 3x cans to do 4 properly and 2x small cans of lacquer.
Did mine this weekend and they look great!

Unhappy

Had a bit of an incident reversing into my garage and scratched 1 of my gold wheels

Is Saffron Yellow as stated above the colour to match on my standard sti7 rims?

Just ask for subaru gold wheel paint in Halfords (thats what they call it, not saffron yellow as far as I know), it is a perfect match for STI7 gold alloys as I used it to touch up mine. Not sure they do it in an aerosol I got a small tin of it. Doesn't look a good match when wet but is absolutely spot on when dry.

Scoobymoo have you got a paint code or a picture of the can ?
I went into my local Halfors and asked Subaru gold wheel paint and they looked at me gone out ?

thanks

I've got the can at home I'll look for a code tonight. When I bought it the guy in Halfords had never heard of it but looked in his book of paint mix recipes and there it was.
