Alright everyone...

in 2019 I started the Satin Poly Gold/Aurum Gold thread. It turned into a wealth of knowledge for everyone. That said, I am now trying to match Satin Neodyme for my harness bar. (for those that will ask - I went with the FVD/Heigo bar - doesn't cover the airbox) Before I start down the rabbit hole, has anyone figured out a Prismatic Powder color that is really close?

There is a company in England that advertises Neodyme Satin ( https://www.powderfx.co.uk/product/p...neodyme-satin/ ) but they will only ship to VAT registered businesses.

I know there is a thread for paint. I am looking for Powder - as once the harness bar is done, I will also be coating a set of track wheels and I def want powder for the more robust finish.

I am posting this here rather than the GT4RS thread, as there are many more Neodyme leads in here! Any help, leads, advice are welcome. Many thanks!

My

GT4RS bar done to match my neodyme wheels

Looks fantastic. Was it powder or paint? If powder, how well does it match the wheels? Thx for the response!

cafe_racer

howdy, powder done by BBi. I let them know my wheel colour and they matched it. Seems quite close when I put the two next to each other.

Thank you - glad to hear there is a color out there that works. Probably VERY unlikely that BBI will divulge that info though...

Do you know the paint code for Satin Neodyme?

This was from another thread here…

Thought I’d bump this up. Bar comes tomorrow - thought I’d try one more time before I start drawing straws and head down the rabbit hole…

Any help appreciated!

Any luck on finding a Prismatic powdercoat match to the Neodyme?

I plan to visit the local powdercoater. They have samples which I plan to grab and compare against my neodyme wheels, as I’m wanting to do my rollbar. While it may not be 100% matching, I’m aiming for 1) a true satin finish, and 2) as close as possible. Might post sample pics soonest…

So in a failed effort to match satin Neodyme on a spare set of 992 GT3 wheels for my Touring (which I did in Satin Poly Gold as you can see in photos below), I think I have found a pretty close match to Neodyme in Prismatic. It's called Sandy Gold II. The swatch is below, and held up against a set of Cayenne wheels in Neodyme. I'm going to give to my powdercoater next week in the hopes he can re-do these . Another option is Performance Gold, but it was a little more silver - still may not be a bad option either. My car is PTS Slate Grey. FYI - Sandy Poly Gold was based on recommendations in this forum for a close match to Aurum - NOT Neodyme (my mistake).

These are photos of the wheels in Satin Poly Gold. I don't know Aurum but I can tell you Satin Poly Gold makes the wheels look like a Guldens Mustard color. And I hate mustard.



This is the swatch for Sandy Gold II.

So here's what Sandy Gold 2 Prismatic turned out like. Powdercoater sent to me today. Closer match to the Satin Neodyme but I will reserve my judgement until I see them in person.

You ever get these mounted up, and how do you feel in general re. the color match?
