Before I play powder sample roulette, I thought I would ask if anyone has powder coated a set of GT3/RS wheels with something resembling Aurum Gold. I love the look on the .2-3RS and want to replicate that look as closely as possible in powder, as these will see track duty and need the extra resilience. If you have done anything similar with Prismatic Powder and have a lead on a close color, I would appreciate your insights. I will do my best to share what I learn along the way, so that others may go this route if desired. Many thanks!

I’ll be doing PMB-6487 satin poly gold next week. Will post pics next to my buddies aurum gold once finished.
I will also be powder coating a set of bbs mag wheels/bbi cage for my gt3rs trying to match satin aurum. Will post pics when done and color name and code
I went with Satin Poly Gold as well! They are supposed to call me in the morning to tell me if the powder came in. Getting “clear vision” over it to hopefully give them a little glossier/wetter look than the dry satin look. My prerogative!
I’m certain they didn’t recreate the powder coating process, but can ask if needed. I am assuming this is pretty “standard.”
The color is Prismatic Powder - Poly Satin Gold - PMB-6487
Then a second application (after a partial bake/cure - I am assuming this) Prismatic Powder - Clear Vision - PPS-2974
I assume it then got a final bake/cure.
Dropped off at 8:30A and picked it up at 4P the same day.
I know they said prep on the centerlocks was the key. The place I went had done hundreds of sets of CL wheels - they are one of the go-to places in Miami...where we have a few vehicles with “custom” wheels.

Thanks for the info. I guess if you forgo the second application, you'll get a satin/matte finish instead of the gloss.
