Paint code for "Mazda gold"

Not sure if this is truely gold or more of a champaign? (Pic posted below.) Does anyone have the mazda paint code for this color?

I'm looking for a single stage paint code that is as close as possible to the original color.

Thanks!

call your local jobber and give them the paint code, they will tell you what paint they can mix it in, even with single stage you realize you have to clear it correct? or is this for underhood or other type application and you dont care about clear?

Um.. no you don't. I use it all the time, have painted several cars with it. Paint still looks good on my 86 RX. Been painted for 3 years now. Not looking for show quality, this is a "race" car. And single stage is pleanty good w/ no clear coat. This is also what they use on business aircraft. That is the whole point of SINGLE stage.....

Problem being if I order it through a paint shop they charge a ton more. I can get a whole kit for about 140 on ebay.... Just need a close match.

Thanks!

if you ever want to polish the paint you will not have any clear to protect the mettalic particles, and you also will not be able to sand and polish the paint.
