Gold wheels

Post by **juggernaut** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 6:30 pm

Ok, so im going to be getting my wheels pwdercoated shortly and was wondering...... What's the best/closest colour match or code for hrc wheels? Pictures welcome ;0)

I really like the early rvf400 hrc bikes with their coloured gold wheels.

1567 - gold

ill speak with mark tomorrow for details of the PC Granules as the one i had he ordered in especially and said that it isnt a BS colour, its a manufacturers colour so will need manufacturer to get the right shade i guess.

I had this magtek powder coated in regal gold which isn't a million miles away from HRC gold

I had RAL1567 coated on my wheels

those colours above are the 3 golds he got in as samples for me.

compared next to a true HRC gold it wasnt far off.

this was ibby/kris OKI with HRC coloured dymags which Tony/Drunkn Munky painted

and for matching purposes here it is compared to the SP1 calipers

You probably have different powders in the UK but avoid "Precious Gold". It is neither gold nor precious and looks terrible!!

I ended up getting mine painted in the end, so I could at least guarantee the colour would be right

Is it RAL-1036 or is the RAL-1567 that is best fit to match hrc gold?

I reckon the paint colour of the new cb400 wheels isn't a million miles off what the HRC gold would have been:
