Gold Color code for 92 firebird rims

Hello,
Does anybody know the original gold paint color code for this 1992 15" wheel rims?
Whether this color is the same as the color in GTA? Because i found out that in the GTA rims the gold color is GOLD POLY 52P.
Thanks in advance.

They're wheels. The centers are gold and the rims are polished aluminum...

Maybe I'm wrong and a noob, or maybe you just don't understand me. I want to take these old rims to a remanufacturing service to have them repainted to their original gold color like this ones. It seems to me that the regeneration service will need something like a code of this color. I'm right?

I had both the 15s (as my car was originally equipped, matter of fact it was just like your picture there) and the gta 16s and the gold was near identical if not identical. I'm not 100% positive since my 15s are long gone. So if you have the correct code for the 16s, it's very possible thats the same code for the 15s.

The rims were never painted, just polished.
The center of the WHEEL was painted gold...

You might want to look into a new set of gold GTA wheels from Hawk’s. By the time you pay for refinishing your existing wheels, you might not be far off from just buying a brand new set.

They charge $250 per wheel for powder coating for wheels around here. I painted mine with the VHT gold wheel paint and they look decent enough for me.
