Golden Beige Metallic PPG color code

I did not mean to hijack this thread, so will start a new thread about Colorado Red and Signal Red. Apologies to the original poster.
 
Just read your chat - I am a slow reader!!! I was the chap who brought back metallic golden beige. I was restoring a BJ8 (15,000 miles on the clock that I bought, repainted in a horrible Jag brown) and its birth certificate said MGB colour. When I ripped off the carpet there was the original MGB. Sikkens sent a paint engineer who fiddled on 'til he matched it. He said the formula was weird containing incredible fine metallic, red oxide and yellow oxide with other stuff They put it in their catalog. At the 1989 Conclave at Niagara-on-the-Falls I came equal first Geoffrey Healey, Gerry Coker, and the production manager (name?) spent an hour talking to me as they said they had not seen the original colour for years. I restored an MGB GT V8 in that colour and my 1957 Aston Martin will be in that colour - IT IS BEAUTIFUL - when you have the right metallic golden beige !!!!
