Hi guys ,
Does anybody have the correct colour code to get wheels painted gold?
Many thanks

A subject much debated on Ferrarichat... worth a search there

I don't think there's a definitive answer as the period colours on the 60s/70s racers seem to vary. I bought a set of gold 308 wheels from Superformance and am very happy with the shade - they might be able to point you to their supplier for a colour code?

Ferrari racing colours back in the day,good choice, trouble is a lot of the late Ferrari's are now choosing gold because they are bored with the overdone black ones.Did you see the Ferrari Boxer LM on the Counting Cars Auction that was red with extra wide gold wheels wheels,looked fantastic . I owned a glass GTB with gold wheels some time ago ,was going to put them back to silver,never got round to it ,they grow on me,

Excuse the thread bump but did you have any luck finding the paint code OP? I want to do the wheels on my '72 BMW and am trying to avoid anything too shiny or garish.

The original supplying dealer in 1977 for my 512BB was Maranello and the history file includes pre-manufacture correspondence (telex to be precise) between the factory and Maranello on the topic of gold wheels. It is clear from this that if the wheels were to be gold it would be Maranello as supplying dealer that would be painting them. If wheel painting was generally left to the supplying dealer this may explain why there does not seem to be a consistent shade.
