That elusive ‘Gold’ colour

Yorkie · 17-10-2018, 08:26 PM

I have watched from afar as those with gold framed Ducati’s have tried to replicate the Ducati ‘Gold’.

Since buying the 916 I have been looking (eventually successfully) for an early set of Ducati Racing wheels. I found a set but they were a little worn and needed to be re-coated.

Off to Mark at MADASL for a search of a close standard colour match ...... the dreaded gold.

He decided to test it on a set of his spare wheels first and here are the results from the powder coating:

The difficulty in the search for Ducati “gold” is that there are so many variants of it, depending on what, and when!

Didn't the early Ducati Racing wheels say Ducati Racing around the hub nut on the rear?

Yes, I think those are Marks spare wheels not Yorkies early ones.

My Ducati Racing wheel is complete, all it needs it the lettering facing back to silver.

Very nice.

To avoid exposing the metal, you could try some silver leaf?

That or some paint. I’m on it like a tramp on chips.
