I still would call mine more of a lighter gold poly than I remember the original saddle gold trucks. With the quality of paint today and the clearcoat,these trucks just have a show stopping bling to the paint the factory trucks just never had. Yours just looks darker and richer in the photos just like those OEM saddle trucks that I remember when new. GREAT JOB! I just love it.

Mark, I think the color is very close to yours, it looks darker in the pics. It was light grey primer under the base and we used Sikkens, it has about 5 coats of clear on it so in a couple of months I may get it wet sanded to look like a mirror. I like yours and will be happy when it's twin is finished. Yours looks awesome.
