I have redone this post, to improve the pictures, add extra colours and give a better idea of what I was trying to do with this.

I really like the Japanese Tuning company TOP SECRET. As Far as I know they were the first people to make a production car hit 1000bhp with an old Supra or Skyline, can't remember which was first. But since then I have been big fan.
In every Car racing game I have ever had I have tried to make a TOP SECRET car and GT5 is no different. So i set about trying to find which gold was the closest to the colour they use.
Here is one of their cars:

It's taken some time to work out how many golds there are in GT5 but with the help of Duck's paints list I think I have found all of them, and a few colours that are called other colours but look Gold onto cars.
Here is the Full list of Gold Colours I have found so far.

I have been changing the number of he car to match that of the colour in the list. so it's easy to work out which is which.
I have taken pics of cars 1 to 23 so far. more to follow soon.

First version of OP.
I'm trying to find the perfect Gold Paint in GT5.
So far I have about 26 gold paints (could be a couple more hidden in my collection), my list deos include a couple that are metallic yellow / beige colours but they look gold.
I think I'll be retaking these pics with the new colours I've found and try and make a more consistant angle / position.

Here are the ones I've photographed so far.

1 Inca gold Pearl Coat

Or I have them all in my Gallery HERE.
Which has a nice thumb nail lay out so it's easier to see them all in one go.


I believe this is a comprehensive list of golds and gold looking colours
goldlist.png


Let me know if you know of any other Golds I'm missing





I think Olympic gold was from my daily 10 paint chips.

There are only 2 I've bought cars to get Gold Poly which you get on the Ferrari.

And one from Chevrolet camero (I think). can't remember which ones. I've been collecting these for a couple of weeks.
Including my daily allowance and a few friends sending the Gold they have received.

I'll check when I get online tonight which other gold is bought.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You can win it at the Olympics 👍

too easy. lol

citron gold metallic
Tawny gold metallic


Those 2 look really nice, what brand are they?

Can you get it to tell you what brand they are?
I have over 900 paints so selecting every manufacturer and trying to find the gold will take me hours.

I hoped you knew...

But then again, I have well over a 1000 paints, so I might have a look in my own pile of paint cans!

Edit:

I have the Gran Turismo Champagne gold, and the Riverside Gold metallic.

Gran Turismo Champagne gold is a Mazda colour.
Riverside Gold is a Chevrolet colour.

Thanks for the info. but are they available on any of the New cars? or only UCD cars?
Did you have to select each manufacture and find the paint to work out who makes them?

 
When I get on line tonight I'll find out and list which manufacture does each paint and whether they are from new or UCD cars.

I can't remember where any of them are from at the moment.

I think the Inca is my favorite gold at the moment.
 
Yep the Soleil is a nice gold.

My quest when I decided I wanted to make a GT-R that looked like it was from the Top Secret Tuning Company in Japan.

Here is one of their cars.
21002090095large5922917.jpg


I think Inca is closest at the moment.

Then I got a little obsessed and started trying to collect all the golds and documenting them in Pics.
 
/\ I´d say olympic is the closest. The closest tone might be a mix of those 2, olympic and inca. Sad there isn´t a mixing ability of the paint chips. Would widen the colour scales a "bit" :)
 
Yep a paint mixer would be cool.

I'm still to put 6 or 7 paints on the car yet. and I believe the riverside gold is a good one.

I'll post the others and where they came from in the next day or so once I've had a couple of hours to look through all the paint info.
it's also a shame there isn't a RM version for this GT-r would love to get a few graphics on it.
 
You´re gold colored Sky takes are all nice. Besides, I wouldn´t mind if that car´s string tanga rose coloured at all :) It´s just so pretty.
 
You can get Olympic gold from the 69(?) camaro in the new dealers.

I use it on my Subaru wheels. 70,000Cr to colour my wheels, Haha!

Thanks for this post also knowing all the golds will help.

What colour is next? :P
 
Thanks for the info Sheford.
Marked that on my spread sheet.
I'll fill this spread sheet out and post it in here again once it's filled.

Next Colour?
Maybe Black. Think I have about 200 of those. :crazy:

Nope no plans on another colour.
But as you mentioned it may do Colours that appear florescent. (sow a post earlier asking about florescent paints).

including these sorts of things.
isotope green
orange chrome
electric orange
Arancia Atlas
Verde Ithaca
passionate pink
hemi orange
fantasia green
chrome metallic orange
 
It's a real shame we can't cut and past all the paint names out of the game.
There are so many colours and it would be great to get a full paint list. so I know what I'm still missing.
 
I'm going to have to replicate the Top Secret R34, as well. :D


Once I have the right gold I'm going to try and replicate that photo.

Managed this so far.
skyliner34gold7060509.jpg


Think this was Inca gold.

Might have to load "another street racing car game" with decals and see if I can create a Top secret R34

 
Great work here! Seeing the paint chips on a car is priceless, now all we need is for someone to do all of the other colors: lol

Would be great but could take a while.

These few have been 2 weeks in the making.
Collecting the colours and finding the time to take pics and not race.

It's been strangely fun though.
 
Here are the next batch of Golds.

I have also updated teh original post.
