I have searched and search but I still can't find a paint code for something similar to top secret gold. Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to get this thing done this week. Thanks, James

dreamreaperx

it's top secret....j/k i tried looking for it too...just get a magazine with a few of their cars and take it to a paint mixing place...then have them try to mimic the color, most people that mix paint for a living should be able to get it pretty damn close

jameslewis178

Yea I have asked that but they said they can't get it off paper... And I don't want to pay for a custom mix and it look like shaat!!


I recently (a few months) ago seen a gold integra driving on 95 near college park that had VA tags and it was a emotion car with rhd, jdm front with mugen aero kit mugen hood mugen mf10 wheels and I think endless brakes and that thing was the **** and ever since then I have wanted to do my integra gold. Yea I'm copying but it's just the color not everything else...
If anyone has any info on that car pm me or if someone has a close paint code to top secret gold pm me or post it please

I found the teg on mishimotos website but it only reads BASF gold paint. That suck but maybe my local auto body paint shop can contact basf and find out...

http://www.topsecretjpn.com/stickers.shtml says its their blend and they want $465 a quart or some ****!! and approval of the car aswell LOL!! thats crazy. i know a friend of mine got a gas lid from a car, took it to the paint shop and they match the blend perfectly(for another paint not this gold) but if u can find someone that has it be worth a try.

if you have the color on a picture or part of the car you can go to the paint store and either look threw the paint books or they can custom mix it or if you got part of the car they can use a profit gun on it and match it that way ..it really dependes on where you go i know that ppg and dupont have differnt types of paint other than the ones that come on factory cars (custom colors books) so you may want to ask them about that book instead of the basic color book.. it might be a candy color or hotcues color or even a house of colors color.. just my 2 cents ,..

The bodyshop I use to work at had a crapton of color books. I'm sure you can find something very similar.

jameslewis178

Non of this helps but thanks anyway. I have also pmed a few people but most people on Honda-tech are douche bags about the color of there cars... Oh well I'll just keep looking

dreamreaperx

how does none of this help? everyone is giving you advise for finding a way to get a color similar, or very close to the color...reputable body shop suppliers can make any color you want...find something around the house, something somewhere that has close to the color you're looking for and take it there to be mixed...after it's mixed you can tell them to make it lighter/darker/more greenish/yellowish, etc...they can do it, might not be the exact paint code, but if you want that then pay the $465 a quart

im pretty sure top secret is not taking new cars at the moment....i contacted them for the color for my EF hatch

miguel329

lol i was thinking the same thing dreamreaperx..

jameslewis178

I was just saying no help cause no codes.

Heres a suggestion buy one center cap from the volk wheels thats "top secret gold".Take it to a Basf lab and get it matched to the tee.

I'm a dealer for TS products... and I can actually get the paint if you decide to go that route. I should go check on a price for it, I don't think it's as much as mentioned here.
Drop me a PM with how much paint you need.

jameslewis178

Na there is no way I would put out that much just for paint. I'll probably need 6 or 7 quarts because the entire car is being sprayed from top to bottom - front to back - and inside out! Ha.

corked1260

6 or 7 quarts? i just did my hatch inside and out with 3 quarts... just saying you got to remember the paint gets reduced,creating more.

jameslewis178

K thanks.

dawgnuts

i will tell you what if you can send me the color or a piece of the color i can match it and send it to you for half the price the paint stores will charge you hoe about that .. i am a paint and body man an i got the hook up..

jameslewis178

I wish I could find something besides paper to send you or giveto my local paint supplier cause it would be done asap.

dawgnuts

well if you can find something let me know il hook you up ..

jameslewis178

Ok thanks

precisionsc54

I have been looking for the same color. The closest I have found is pagan gold from HOK

jameslewis178

Hok also has a gold that is very similar but it's for pinstriping... I don't really know the difference in it...

miguel329

how much is the pinstrip paint maybe u could get a lil, and have a paint company match it..

jameslewis178

Not a bad idea but I give up on the color. I got a new color choice that is gonna be a secret paint code and I'm not gonna give out my paint code like every one else on Honda-tech! Haha na after it gets painted if someone asks for the paint code I'll be sure to tell them or help in anyway I can... Isn't that the hole idea about forums.... And I'll know I'm the first Honda/Acura with this color!
Thanks for the help guys
