Default What paint code is this greddy gold?

What is the paint code for greddy gold, and where can it be purchased? It'd be nice if I could get the actual paint somehow, but Greddy hasn't responded to my email, and I don't know where to get this stuff... anyone know where? It has to be a chemical and heat resistant paint too since it will be going over my brembo calipers. (don't worry, I'm not going to put a greddy sticker on brembo calipers, I just like the semi-gloss gold better)

What if an owner has to repaint their calipers from wear and tear, are they going to say "no screw you, you unimportant POS customer." I don't see what the big deal is about a color. You can't copyright colors... it's like saying:

In that case it would be very easy. The owner of the product would simply take the item into the painter or powder coater of their choosing and with the actual product in hand they would be able to match it without any problems.

Same exact thing I do with anything I want painted magnesium blue. I don't know the color code (and Volk will not release it, which is understandable) but armed with my center cap I've had several pieces painted and powdercoated without any issues and with the color being spot on (flakes included).

They won't give you the "color code" but their paint is attainable and has been for sometime...

Top Secret Paint - Though we get many requests for the "color code" for our trademark Top Secret Gold paint, no such code exists nor is it available from any paint or body shop. Our paint is our own custom color and blend made from only the finest materials. The paint is available through us for $465 per quart, pending the approval of the vehicle it is to be used on.

Please e-mail usa@topsecretjpn.com for details.
