Ok here's my research so far in trying to find a shade of gold (powder coat) for my Brewster Green spyder. I have searched all the Rennlist threads I could find and couldn't find the answer, hopefully these images will help someone in the future. I was trying to find something like Porsche White Gold (Weissgold). Part of the learning curve is learning that the Porsche color 539 is a paint code, so after ordering the prismatic samples (amazing service by the way) I paid for a local company to make me a spray bomb of the white gold. Here are the images compared to the samples I had ordered (some of which you see in this thread).
Sterling Gold is a good match. I'm glad I ordered the spray bomb because I didn't realize the Porsche White Gold 529 was "that gold"... photos are kind of deceiving.

Do you happen to still have this paint sample? Trying to match it to Prismatic Powder White gold which is supposed to be a match to 539
I was trying to match Weiss gold with prismaticpowders as well, and so just did my new wheels with prismatic “Perfomance Gold” (after comparing a bunch of samples and seeing stuff online), which came out to be pretty good imo.

I do, and I have to say the spray bomb was darker more saturated than the finished product. I think my results are pretty consistent with the factory colour and feel the spray bomb wasn’t that accurate. My best advice is to order a free sample from Prismatic (they’re great) and see if you like it in person. You can always try and track down an OEM wheel in your area to compare. I’m glad I painted them, to get the right colour, though I’m disappointed with the durability so far. Installer feels they need a few more layers of clear coat, because they’re chipping *way* too easy. So back they go in a few weeks for a bit more work. Here’s a few photos with them mounted. The colour is great, and so far I’m still glad I took the plunge.

I ordered the Prismatic Powder White Gold sample swatch and it is a good match to my painted wheels in colour code 539. Had that colour been available when I started my project, I would’ve used the powder over painting. If I don’t get any durability with the painted wheels, I’ll re-do them with this colour.

I was set on to match Arum gold, but it came out really bad more of a mustard then gold. Now going with white gold, will pickup by end of this week. Is it possible to get a picture of the swatch with your wheel? Would like to see how close is it to 539.
I ended up with Golden Hue from Prismatic powders. I used the color on my new wheels for my Raptor R. All of the prismatic colors I ordered match white gold in some lights but never at every angle and lighting.
golden hue shifts in from silver to golden like the OEM color. Here’s a few pictures for reference
@Sk8erpope I really like the richer gold colour you have chosen. Headed down a similar path swapping out the white gold for the Satin Aurum. Definitely pops better against the black background.
