87 Iroc GOLD wheel restoration-where to send?

I have a set of used 87 iroc wheels in silver that i'd like to send out to have refinished as a spare set, but I'd like them trimmed in correct gold. Does anyone know a reputable wheel refinishing place (one you've actually used) and if there is some sort of a paint code or something I could send them to get the gold color correct?

Re: 87 Iroc GOLD wheel restoration-where to send?

Personally, I'd want to find a local place so that I could see beforehand a sample of the gold color they have to use, before it's all done and money is owed.

My brother had a set of Chrysler wheels done by a place in the Columbus OH area not long ago and they turned out fantastic. But with the gold color needing to be so particular, I wouldn't want to give them the go ahead without seeing a color sample first.

Following. I want to redo my gold '85s, but I'd rather leave them rather than have them not look factory.

Wheels America if you have one near you or Wheel Collision in Bath, PA. Both top rated places from what I’ve read.

I had some wheels for an 89 Iroc done a few years ago that turned out well. Here is the info I have left from that:
