GT3 RSR Paint Code

I am looking for the paint code of the gold trim in the attached picture. I thought it was "White Gold Metallic" but when I had a sample painted it wasn't the same. The color they painted was darker and didn't have the same "yellow gold" look to it. I don't know how else to explain it. Does anyone know the color of the trim of this car? Anyone know the paint code?

I would say the "Gold" is a wrap not paint. Now days most modern race cars use a wrap not paint.

Not that this is entirely helpful, but that is a GT3 Cup, not an RSR.

I would agree with Glock, that is likely a vinyl wrap rather than paint.

Now just call Porsche Motorsports and I'm sure they will give you the color code of the vinyl.

Lol, not!!

Surely the wheels are not wrapped? I understand the graphics would be vinyl but was thinking the wheels, mirrors, front rubber spoiler and rocker panels would be painted. If they are vinyl does anyone have a link to where this stuff can be purchased?

Thanks for the info. I have had a sample panel painted with the Porsche white gold and it's almost pewter looking. Definately not as "gold" as the paint in the picture. I found a 911 painted in the color I was looking for:

Any ideas?

Edit: Comparing side by side the car in the picture seems more "green" but you can see the effect I am trying to replicate. I just want to paint wheels, mirrors and spoilers. White gold appears too subtle for the look I want.
