Gold Emblem Kit - matching paint?

Hi,

I am going to put the Gold package on my 2004 Acura TL, but i wanted to paint my grill a matching gold. I just wanted to know if anyone has any idea what the perfect match of gold paint is to go with the emblem kit. If you could give me the colour code it would be greatly appreciated!

Anthony!

Anthony, welcome to Acurazine. You might check out Crestwood's WDP. It's looking pretty tight these days! He'll make you think twice about the gold. It's is an older style and look. You can see so many different style here-be sure to check them out and then make your final decision!

Gold wheels are nice, the gold emblems just are not nice. And I cant see a gold grill looking good AT ALL. But that just my opinion, I hope you like whatever you end up doing!

I have the gold package on my 1997 4Runner and I hate it. I have taken as much of it off as i could. At the time (1997) it was a $150 option. What a joke. It came with it, so I did not have a choice. Just my 2 cents from my experience.

Also, i am going to buy the smoke trim tint kit for my headlights & tail lights + the Side Markers for both sides... going to look sick! Crestwood i suggest you buy the same off Ebay.
