Powder coat color closest to "Frozen Gold"?

Can anyone recommend some powder coat colors that are close to the 763m frozen gold wheels?

I found this one from prismatic powder that's close, but not quite there.

https://www.prismaticpowders.com/sho...atin-poly-gold

Anyone have a source for something that's closer?

Thanks

If you can’t get an answer, suggest you select and order a bunch of free swatches from them. They charge less than $7 to ship them to you.
This way you get to hold them next to your item in different lighting conditions.

Good call. I may just do that.

Wish I had a set of those frozen gold wheels to compare. Really like the look of them in the pics.

My plan is to powder coat my 437m's.

I don't think that sample looks anything like it, although it's hard to tell in photos. The Frozen Gold sometimes looks closer to silver than it does gold.

Perhaps. How about this?

Can you powder coat a clear over regular paint? Is that a thing? Does it add to the durability of the finish, if so?

I dont have a set of 763m's sadly. So far, I think "Performance Gold" is the closest, or possibly "Champagne Gold".

I received the following swatches from prismatic powder:
  • Belair Gold (UMB-1810)
  • National Gold (PMB-5679)
  • Electro Gold (PMB-1978)
  • Golden Champagne (PTB-5604) (This is textured, didnt meant to get that)
  • Champagne Gold (PMB-4782)
  • Performance Gold (PMB-1808)

Sure, but the lighting is going to not make them look right.

See attached, ordered from left to right as listed above.

It's very hard to tell by the pictures,

To be sure, you'll have to compare in person with a set of frozen gold 763m

Hope a dealer near you have a car in stock with a set of 763m gold

Not too many BMW dealers around here. Doubt any of them will have a car with those wheels optioned in the floor.

I may just have to get close.
