question/ pic request: golden SSR formula mesh rims

[fax0815]

Not sure, if thats the right place to ask, so feel free to move.

I´m currently getting my Hoshino Impul mesh (same as SSR formula mesh) rims refurbed, they got sandblasted and I was just wondering what the did in the factory to make them gold?
It´s not really painted isn´t it?

So I´m stuck wether to get it painted, or do whatever has been done to them before...

I´m most certainly not the first one with this question, but could find any answers.

Does anybody who already did his rims remember a paint code (RAL??) and has a picture?

Cheers, Max!

Thanks,
I decided to get them painted. But I´ll wait for my pair of SSR Formula mesh rims, in good condition, comming from Japan, to get a 100% paint match

We also changed the rusted away wheel nut inserts for stainless steel ones!
I payed only 150€ for glas bead blasting the rims and 16 CNC machined stainless seats!!!
