I know exactly the color you are talking about. It does not look gold at all and when it fades, it just turns to a pale yellow.



I was just digging through my old automotive paint books and there seems to be conflicting info between PPG and Martin Senour... it doesn't help that I'm missing the PPG '86 GM truck colors. But, I did find a color in the '86 Martin Senour book that looks VERY close. It's called Colorado Gold poly, code 51, or WA-7953. Oddly, the color chip is listed as an '85 color, but it's the '86 color chart. At any rate, it looks like it.
