    Knowing Husky painted their rims during the first years the gold color has anyone had a company that was able to match this color.

    I know of the rattle can Krylon color but if would be great to find a paint code for the gold color used for forks, silencer, bars and of course a match to anodize the rims.

    Anyone please share what you may have found.

    Try Duplicolor Engine enamel with ceramic - DE 1604 Universal Gold.
    I've been happy with it.

    I've used it on a couple of restorations with good results. It is not an exact match when compared side-by-side with the original color but it is very close.
    It stands up to chemicals and has that muted matt/semi gloss finish and it cures hard in a very short time.
    It comes in a rattle can and I just use a good rattle can automotive primer for aluminum underneath.

    Try rust-oleum metallic # 7272 gold rush metallic. It matches the gold on my bike. Doug.
