Gold Frame

[mholc123]

I painted my frame by Hand last year in an effort to get the bike on the road before the end of Summer, however it now needs redoing properly and I have decided to powder coat it back to the original Gold, my question is does anyone know the official designation of the gold colour or know of a very similiar colour :scratch:

No, but I would say 'champagne' (gold) is a very close match

I think its actually called bronze, rather than gold......I think.
My frame and wheels are that colour.
When I had a dinged rim straightened a while ago, I discovered that RS Paints do a whole range of colour matched paints, and their Ducati gold/bronze (?) is a pretty good match.
You might be able to get a paint code from them....off their website even, ...??

I have a paint code chart for 2003 models, I doubt the colours changed much from year to year, you can download it here; http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/attachments/ducati-998/31748d1300399654-998-frame-paint-code-needed-ducati-paint-codes.doc

The gold Ducati used for frames did vary depending on year and model. The early 916 for example uses a dark matt gold finish, where as monster is a lighter shade and glossy.There's some colours listed here - if your German's any good..

Well I got the frame done - looks a bit "Golder" than perhaps it should but does look nice in the flesh here are some pictures of the rebuild.

The early gold is as near as damn it, an exact match for BSA gold. redditch shotblasting keep it in stock and are recommended.
