Cristian:
Why would you need a color code, anyway? Are you replacing a pickguard or designing your own or ?
Pantone's metallic colors are not a good match for the 325 gold. Rick uses Illinois (Crescent) Bronze pigments in an enamel vehicle, judging from my own experience with the pickguards on my 660-12.
Pantone metallics (871 through 8321) are "opaque" custom-mixed inks for printing. As such, the pigments are ground much, much finer than the IlBronze color used on the Rick pickguards.
At any rate, the Pantone metallics do not match the Rick gold; they go neither light nor "greenish" enough, tending instead to be nearer what is commonly considered an "antique" gold color.
If there's anybody who could clue you in on exactly which ILBronze pigment that Rick uses, it would be CEO John Hall or ex-Rick employee Dale Fortune.
